4.6.1 Auto Media Sensor Calibration

Auto Media Sensor Calibration automatically establishes the optimum sensing values for the media you are using in the printer.

;Note: Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate media type, see Section 4.4.2; also, ensure that the Printhead Carrier Assembly is latched down and the cover is closed.

To automatically calibrate the media sensor:

1.With the desired media loaded, hold the button while powering up the printer. Continue to hold the button until the PAUSED Light turns off then release it.

3.Next press the button. The printer will feed approximately ten inches of media to calculate the TOF Delta and Low values to be used.

4.Upon completion, one of the following Indicators will flash five times to denote the result of the auto calibration attempt:

PAUSED Light = Successful calibration. Proceed to Step 5. FAULT Light = Unsuccessful calibration. Proceed to Section 4.6.2.

;Note: If you wish to discard the changes and revert back to the previous calibration simply turn off the printer before Step 5.

5.Now save the changes and resume by pressing the

+ buttons simultaneously and briefly. Wait until the PAUSED Light goes off.
