  When you perform a threshold setting for the reflective sensor and 
found the threshold needs to be adjusted, set a fine adjustment 
value.   
This menu is accessible directly from the Threshold Setting Mode 
so that the threshold can be manually set right away.   
 
  Manually set threshold = Peak voltage – The value set here

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 
fine adjusted.  
Threshold is a voltage level by which the printer determines 
whether a print area or a gap/a black mark is being detected by the 
media sensor.   
The threshold is a boundary between a print area and a gap/black 
mark, and should be a midpoint of their voltage levels. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(1)  Load the media to be used.  
(2)  Choose 1) or 2) depending on the sensor type to be used, 
then press the [ENTER].  
 
 
 
(3)  Hold down the [PAUSE] until more than 1.5 labels (tags) have 
been fed.   
  The media will continue to be fed until the [PAUSE] is 
released. (An automatic threshold setting for the selected 
sensor is completed by this operation.) 
 
 
(4)  The result of the threshold setting is displayed.

NOTES: 
1.  Failure to feed more than 1.5 
labels may result in an 
incorrect threshold setting. 
2.  Ensure that a paper end or 
ribbon end error will not 
occur during paper feed.

 Display example  Explanation 
1 
 
Result: OK (Mid.) 
Threshold is at the midpoint between the 
peak and the baseline. 
2 
 
Result: OK (High) 
Threshold is near the peak voltage, so 
detection of a gap/black mark may fail if 
the voltage difference is very small. 
Adjusting the threshold to the midpoint 
between the peak and the baseline 
enables more accurate detection. Follow 
next (5) to (10) 
3 
 
Result: OK (Low) 
Threshold is near the baseline voltage, 
so detection of a gap/black mark may fail 
if the voltage difference is very small. 
Adjusting the threshold to the midpoint 
between the peak and the baseline 
enables more accurate detection. Follow 
next (5) to (10) 
4 
 
Failed (1) 
The media sensor cannot detect a 
gap/black mark.  Sensor adjustment is 
required. (⇒Section 2.11) 
5 
 
Failed (1) 
The media sensor cannot detect a 
gap/black mark. (Threshold ≤ Baseline)  
Sensor adjustment is required. 
(⇒Section 2.11) 
6 
 
Failed (2) 
Detection by the media sensor is 
disabled.  Sensor adjustment is required.

[FEED] to feed the media.  
  If a paper jam occurs or the media does not stop at the print 
start position, retry the threshold setting.  
 
NOTE: 
The threshold can be 
manually set as follows:  
 Manually set threshold = 
Peak voltage – Threshold 
fine adjustment value 
e.g.) When Peak=3.5V and 
Fine adjustment 
value=1.0V, the threshold 
will be set to 2.5V.
