The optional Adjustable Media Sensor (AMS) allows the printer to accept a wider variety of media
configurations. The table below defines general AMS positions for various media and Top of Form (TOF) types.
Media Type
Continuous
Die-Cut
Notched/Hole
Black Bar
Position the AMS as follows:
1) On the Bottom AMS Sensor, identify the proper Indicator for
use with your media.
2) Slide the Bottom AMS sensor so the Indicator is in line with the center of the notch, gap, or
reflective (mark) of the installed media.
3) Slide the Top AMS Sensor over to the same setting as the Bottom AMS Sensor, (this is not
necessary if using reflective media).
4) Load media, see Section 2.3.
