2.13 Threshold Setting 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  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 inte rfere with this process causing paper 
jam errors. 
To get around this problem, first, try an automatic threshold setting.   
If the problem still occurs, then, th e threshold voltage needs to be 
manually set.  
 
 
 
 
1.  Turn the power ON.  The printer is in online mode. 
2.   Load a pre-printed media roll. 
  When using a label stock, move the Feed Gap Sensor so that it is in  line with the centre of the label.   
  When using a tag stock, move the Black Mark Sensor so that it is in  line with the centre of a black mark. 
3.  Press the  [PAUSE] key. 
4.   The printer enters the pause mode. 
5.   Press and hold the  [PAUSE] key in the pause state until the following 
screen appears. 
6 .  The sensor type is displayed. 
 
 
7.   Select the sensor to be adjusted by using the  [FEED] key. 
 
 
 
 
 
8.   Press and hold the  [PAUSE] key until more than 1.5 labels (tags) 
have been issued.   
  The media will continue to be fed until the  [PAUSE] key is released.  
(An automatic threshold setting for  the selected sensor is completed 
by this operation.) 
 
 
 
9.  Press the  [RESTART]  key. 
 
 
 
10.   The printer returns to online mode. 
  Send an issue command from the host computer to the printer.  
 
NOTES: 
1. Failure to feed more than 1.5 labels may result in an incorrec
t
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.

If a paper jam error still occurs even 
after an automatic threshold setting 
has been performed, manually set the threshold voltage.   
 
To make a threshold value manually set in this section effective, select 
the Transmissive Sensor (when us ing manual threshold value) or 
Reflective Sensor (when using manual  threshold value) within software 
commands or the printer driver.   
 
1.  While holding down the  [FEED] and  [PAUSE]  keys, turn on the 
printer. 
2.   When “DIAG.” appears on the  LCD Message Display, release the 
[FEED]  and  [PAUSE]  keys. 
 
 
 
  Now, the printer is in the System Mode for system administrators. 
 
3.  Press the  [FEED] or [RESTART]  key until “SENSOR ADJ.” 
appears on the LCD Message Display.  
 
 
 
4.  Press the  [PAUSE] key to enter the Sensor Adjustment Mode. 
 
 
 
The Sensor Adjustment Mode contains sub menus for displaying the 
current status of each sensor and for storing “media level” voltage and 
“no media level” voltage.  Each time the  [PAUSE] key is pressed, the 
sub menus are displayed sequentially. 
 
  (1)  Sensor Status Display: 
    Temperatures being detected by the Print Head Thermistor and  the Ambient Thermistor are displayed. 
  (2)  Upper Black Mark Sensor Status Display: 
    Voltage being detected by the upper Black Mark Sensor is  displayed.  
  (3)  Upper Black Mark Sensor Adjustment: 
    Using the media actually used, a “media level” voltage is stored. 
  (4)  Lower Black Mark Sensor Status Display: 
    Voltage being detected by the lower Black Mark Sensor is  displayed.  
  (5)  Lower Black Mark Sensor Adjustment: 
    Using the media actually used, a “media level” voltage is stored.  
  (6)  Feed Gap Sensor Status Display: 
    Voltage being detected by the Feed Gap Sensor is displayed.  
  (7)  Feed Gap Sensor Adjustment: 
    Using the media actually used, a “media level” voltage is stored. 
  (8)  Lower Black Mark Sensor/Feed Gap Sensor Status Display  (No media): 
    “No media level” voltage detected by the lower Black Mark  Sensor/Feed Gap Sensor is displayed.  
  (9)  Lower Black Mark Sensor/F eed Gap Sensor Adjustment (No 
media): 
    “No media level” voltage is stored.

 When using the Black Mark Sensor  
(1) While “SENSOR ADJ.” is displayed, press the  [PAUSE] key 
until the message appears.  
  The displayed value is a real-time voltage being detected by the Black  Mark Sensor. 
 
 
 
(2) Measure a voltage at a blank part of media and a black mark, 
respectively.  At this time, write down the midpoint between both 
voltages. (This value is used later for a threshold setting.) 
 (Example)  Print area = 4.8V, Black mark = 2.4V    Midpoint = 3.6V 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(3) Press and hold the  [RESTART] or [FEED]  key for about 3 seconds 
aligning a blank part of print area with the Black Mark Sensor. 
 
(4) When storing a “media level” volta ge is completed, an asterisk “*”is

„   When using the Feed Gap Sensor 
(1)Measure a voltage at a blank part of label and a label gap, respectively.   At this time, write down the midpoint of both voltages. (This value is 
used later for a threshold setting.)

NOTES: 
1.  When measuring a voltage of a blank area, be careful not to align a pre-print with the sensor by mistake. 
2.  Confirm that there is at least 0.7V difference between the two values.
If the difference in voltage is less than 0.7V, a print start position
cannot be detected.  In that case, please consider changing the media
type.  
3.  Make sure that the Top Cover is closed when measuring the voltages.

„ Storing a “No Media Level” Voltage  
The following is how to set a “No medi a level” voltage that is used to 
detect a paper end.   
If a “NO PAPER” is displayed even if the media has not run out yet, this 
voltage needs to be set again.  
 
(1) Remove any media from the Black Mark Sensor/Feed Gap Sensor.  
 
(2) A real-time voltages being detected by the lower Black Mark Sensor  and Feed Gap Sensor are displayed.
