6.1 THRESHOLD SETTING 
6- 6 6.1 THRESHOLD SETTING 
To maintain a constant print position the printer uses the Transmissive Sensor to detect the gap 
between labels by measuring the amount of light passing through the media.  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 a minimum threshold can be set for the sensor in the following way.  
 
n Threshold setting procedure 
(1) Turn the power ON.  The printer is in stand by mode. 
 
 
 
(2) Load a media roll. 
(3) Press the [PAUSE] key. 
 
 
 
(4) The printer enters the pause mode. 
(5) Press and hold the [PAUSE] key for at least 3 seconds in the pause state. 
 
 
 
(6) The sensor type is displayed. 
(7) To select the Reflective Sensor (Black Mark Sensor), press the [FEED] key. 
 
 
 
(8) To select the Transmissive Sensor (Feed Gap Sensor), press the [FEED] key again.  
 
 
 
(9) Press and hold the [PAUSE] key until more than 1.5 labels (tags) have been advanced.   
 The media is advanced until the [PAUSE] key is released. 
 (Threshold setting is completed by this operation.) 
 
 
 
(10) Press the [RESTART] key. 
 
 
 
(11) The printer is in stand-by. 
(12) Send an issue command from the PC to the printer.  
 
 
 
 
NOTES: 
1. If the [PAUSE] key is released within 3 seconds whilst in pause state, paper will not feed. 
2. Failure to feed more than 1.5 labels may result in an incorrect threshold setting. 
3. While the Print Head Block is raised, the [PAUSE] key does not work. 
4. Errors such as paper end and cutter error are not detected during paper feed. 
5. Selecting the Transmissive Sensor (for pre-printed labels) within software commands allows the 
printer to detect the proper print start position correctly even when using pre-printed labels. 
6. If the printer continued to print out of position after setting the threshold, adjust the Feed Gap 
Sensor in the system mode.  Reset the threshold again.  Make sure that the Transmissive Sensor 
(for pre-printed labels) is selected in the feed and issue commands.  PAUSE

6- 7 6.2 RESET 
Reset operation clears the print data sent to the printer from the computer, and returns the printer to an 
idle condition.  
 
(1) The printer is turned on, standing by, or printing.  
 
 
 
 
(2) To stop printing, or clear the data sent from the computer, press the [PAUSE] key.  The printer 
stops printing.  
 
 
 
 
 
(3) Press and hold the [RESTART] key for 3 seconds or longer.   
 
 
 
(4) Press the [PAUSE] key.  The data sent from the computer will be cleared, and the printer returns 
to an idle condition. 
 
 
 
 
NOTES: 
1. If the [RESTART] key is held for less than 3 seconds when the printer is in an error or pause state, 
the printer restarts printing.  However, when a communication error or command error occurs, the 
printer returns to an idle condition.  
2. When the [PAUSE] key is pressed during printing, the number of unprinted media is displayed.
