Manual Calibration

Manual calibration is recommended whenever you are using pre-printed media or if the printer will not correctly auto calibrate.

1.Make sure the printer power is off and that media is loaded.

2.Press and hold the feed button then turn on the printer power.

3.Continue to hold the feed button until the status light LED flashes. Release the feed button.

4.The printer will set the media sensor for the label backing being used. After the printer is done making this adjustment, the roll will automatically feed until a label is positioned at the print head.

5.The configuration settings (similar to the example below) will print. Upon completion, the printer will save the new settings in memory and remain in diagnostic dump mode.

6.Press the feed button. The printer will dispense another label with the message "Out of DUMP" and be ready for normal operation.
