7. 5 Avoid setting density too high for sensitive paper types Excessive dark values may cause the paper to swell degrading the image quality 6 Some thermal papers may fail to produce a strong image when running at 50mm sec printing speed even at maximum density setting If you have this problem reduce the print speed to 25mm sec SPECIFICATIONS AND OPERATION 5 Sensor Adjustment There are three different sensors the transmissive sensor label start position detector the black mark sensor and the paper out sensor Adjustment procedures are described below First note the following general points The transmissive sensor level requires precise setting Because transmission rates vary widely among different types of label paper we recommend that the sensor be readjusted each time the user changes to a different paper type Because black marks are likely to be similar across different paper types the black mark reflective sensor may not require readjustment each time the paper type is changed But you will still have to adjust it if the new paper has a different consistency or uses a different black mark density or if the paper feed routing is changed In most generally not necessary to adjust the paper out sensor SPECIFICATIONS AND OPERATION Sensor adjustment procedures are as follows 1 2 a b Note Remove the ROM cover located beneath the paper roll holding area Hold down the FEED an
