The type of media is a paper backed clear plastic with 2mm blackmark on the front for the sensor. How or what is the best set-up for this type of media?
hope you could help me.. thanks.
If the backing has black lines between labels, I would use the mark sensor. If the labels are not genuine Zebra, you will need to pay with the sensitivity of the sensor. To do this, you will need to http on to the printer and you will find the calibration options there. If it asks you for a password, this is 1234.
This sounds like a calibration issue.
Follow the instructions below to re-calibrate
Three readings are required:
· Empty: No media in the sensor.
· Gap (or Mark): Only the backing, notch, or reflective mark in the sensor.
· Paper: The label (with the liner attached) in the sensor.
To perform a Standard Calibration:
Step Operator Action Displayed Message Comment

Remove the media from the Media Sensor then press any key.
REMOVE LABEL STOCK
PRESS ANY KEY <yyy>
This sets the parameter for the
'empty' value.
Where 'yyy' is a numerical
value representing the current
sensor reading.
8 Position the label (and backing,
if any) under the Sensor Eye
Mark.
ã Note: If using preprinted
media, ensure the label area
under the sensor is free of
preprinted text, graphics or
borders.
Press any key to continue.
SCAN PAPER
PRESS ANY KEY <yyy>
This sets the parameter for the
'paper' value.
Where 'yyy' is a numerical
value representing the current
sensor reading.
The calibration was successful.
See note below if another
message was displayed.
10 Exit upon successful
calibration: Back out of the
menu tree by repeatedly
pressing the key.
If using gap or reflective media,
press and hold the FEED key.
The printer will begin
advancing media; allow at least
one label gap (or mark) to
advance under the sensor.
