5 Remove one screw (3) securing sensor bracket (4) to the printer frame.
6 Withdraw sensor bracket (4) along with sensor (5) from within the printer.
7 Disconnect the wiring harness (A) from sensor connector (A).
8 Remove screw (6) securing sensor (5) to sensor bracket (4).
9 Apply replacement sensor (5) to sensor bracket (4) and secure using one screw (6).
10 Connect the sensor wiring harness (A) to replacement sensor connector (A).
11 Secure sensor bracket (4) to the printer frame using one screw (3).
12 Secure stay (2) to printer frame using two screws (1) applied to each end.
13 Test cycle to ensure a proper function.
14 Reinstall the right, left, front, and top housing covers.
LABEL-OUT SENSOR REPLACEMENT
The label-out sensor detects the presence of print media and sends an error signal to the
processor should the absence of print media be detected. This sensor is integrated into the same
board as the eye mark sensor. Follow those relative procedures for instructions on label-out
sensor replacement.
LABEL POSITION SENSOR REPLACEMENT
There are two types of label position sensors; the label gap sensor (transmissive) and the eye
mark sensor (reflective). They each are mounted to the left paper guide directly behind the feed
roller.
L
ABEL GAP SENSOR
The label gap sensor is accessed above the media ramp and has a black cover. The wiring
harness has a black sleeve that covers grey, blue, and purple insulated wires.
1 Switch off the printer and disconnect the power supply cord.
2 Open the top housing cover.
3 Remove media from printer if applicable.
4 Remove screw (1, Figure 7-16) securing sensor cover (2) to left guide plate (3).
NOTE: A properly installed sensor will mount to the upper portion of the
bracket from the underside. The sensor eye will be oriented upward and their
respective mounting orifices will be aligned.
NOTE: Figures 10-1 of the Diagrams & Schematics section provides
guidance on housing cover installation.
NOTE: Figures 10-1 and 10-2 of the Diagrams & Schematics section
provides guidance on housing cover and media removal.
