Apparatuses and methods for detecting error in loading print media in a printing device are disclosed. An apparatus embodiment includes a width adjuster position sensor that determines a position of a print medium width adjuster, a width sensor that measures a width of a print medium, and a computing device that compares the width adjuster position with the print medium width, and verifies that the width adjuster is properly positioned for the print medium width. Another embodiment includes a length adjuster position sensor that determines a position of a print medium length adjuster, a length sensor that measures a length of the print medium, and a computing device that compares the length adjuster position with the print medium length, and verifies that the length adjuster is properly positioned for the print medium length. A method embodiment includes determining a position of a width adjuster, measuring a width of a print medium, comparing the width adjuster position with the print medium width, and prompting a user to properly position the width adjuster when the width adjuster is improperly positioned for the print medium width. Another method embodiment includes determining a position of a length adjuster, measuring a length of the print medium, comparing the length adjuster position with the print medium length, and prompting a user to properly position the length adjuster when the length adjuster is improperly positioned for the print medium length. Further characteristics and features of the apparatuses and methods are disclosed herein, as are exemplary alternative embodiments.
