it is used by matching the sensor markings of the upper sensor and
the bottom sensor. When used as a reective sensor, it is used by
matching the sensor marking on the bottom sensor with the position
of the black mark on the liner or media backing.

the right side movable media guide is moved horizontally to match
it to the media size. And the movable media guide is used as a guide
to match the upper sensor and bottom sensor when using the
transparent sensors.
