• Possible communications error — Check the cable connection
between the host and printer and ensure that a quality, shielded cable
is used.

Configure Media Sensor
To accommodate a variety of media types the printer is equipped with three
sensors. A dual-position transmissive sensor (for gap and notch type label
media) and a reflective sensor (for “black mark” type label media). Several
media types and their proper sensor settings are shown below:
Media types with sensor settings
Most applications that use gap label media will use the default setting of Gap
Inner. However if reflective/black mark or custom notch media is being used,
this setting must be changed.
The media sensor setting can be changed using the NETira Configuration
Utility, see “Printer Configuration Utility (NETira CT)” on page 17 for more
information.
Note: The media sensor settings can also be configured using the printer’s
internal web pages via a LAN connection. Simply enter the IP of the printer in
your browser to access these pages.
