Making A Media Profile Printout

6. Press the PAUSE key until OFFLINE displays.

NOTE: The Gap/Mark and Paper Out Threshold values shown on the Media Profile printout represent the last values determined from a successful Auto Calibrate or the factory default values if no Auto Calibrate was performed.

Gap Sensing

This figure shows a Media Profile printout of a smart label where

Gap/Mark Sensor is set to Gap in the CALIBRATE CTRL menu.

In this example, the gap threshold value the printer selected (represented by the Gap/Mark dotted line) is too close to the amplitude of the antenna pulse. This may cause the printer to falsely use the antenna as the gap (top-of-form).
