Threshold Setting - Toshiba B-852 Owner's Manual

2.PRINTER SETUP

2.13 Threshold Setting

NOTES:
1. Failure to feed more than 1.5
labels may result in an incorrect
threshold setting.
2. While the Top Cover is raised,
the [PAUSE] key does not work
3. A paper end error cannot be
detected during paper feed.
To maintain a constant print position the printer uses the media sensor to
detect a print start position according to the difference of voltage between
a print area and a gap or black mark. When the media is pre-printed, the
darker (or more dense) inks can interfere with this process causing paper
jam errors.
To get around this problem, first, try an automatic threshold setting.
If the problem still occurs, then, the threshold voltage needs to be
manually set.
Automatic threshold setting procedure
