JV33-160 Print is off center

[SeanBender]

So run into a problem where my print was off center, about 1/2" I cleaned the encoder strip and still off. So I tried to reset the origin point and I couldn't get it to go negative. I couldn't find anything in the manual and everything I find online is referencing banding or some other issues that isn't this. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Check your media edge sensor. It might have gotten knocked out of position so it's reading the edges at the wrong place.

I'm not sure where that is. I couldn't find it in the manual.

It's the part that shines a red light on the edge of the material when it's measuring. It's attached to the left side of the carriage.

thank you. I will look and report back

I was confusing the encoder strip with the media sensor. It has a broken tab so it's not sitting in the bracket correctly. Must've bumped at some point.

Yeah those sensors just pop out easily. You should be able to pop it back in and it should work again. If it's broken, you could try gluing it before getting a part.
