Zebra Technologies Comprehensive Calibration Guide for Zebra 105S and 105SE Printers

Note: Perform the calibration procedure when media and ribbon are first installed and each time a different type of media or ribbon is installed.

During this procedure, the printer automatically determines the media type, label length, media and ribbon sensor settings, and printing method. Media type is determined by sensing either continuous or non-continuous media as blank labels move through the printer. If non-continuous media is sensed, label length is also calibrated. If ribbon is sensed, the thermal transfer print method is configured. If no ribbon is present, the direct thermal print method is configured.

The results of this calibration are stored in the printer’s memory. These parameters remain in effect until the next calibration is performed. The printer configuration printout, which prints when the CANCEL Key Self Test is performed, lists these results as well as other printer parameters.

Note: If the printer is in the peel-off mode, the operator must “catch” the labels as they are peeled away from the backing during this procedure.

1.Load media and ribbon (if used). Make sure the media sensor is properly positioned (see “Media and Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity Adjustment” on page 63).

Note: To use the black mark sensing mode, make sure you set the Bank 2 DIP switches appropriately (see page 41).

2.Turn the power switch ON. When the Power-On Self Test is complete, the POWER, PAUSE, and PAPER/RIBBON lights are ON.

3.Briefly press the MODE key three times. PAUSE and CALIBRATE lights turn ON.

4.Press UP (FEED Key) to calibrate. The printer feeds some media. The MODE lights flash ON and OFF to indicate that the settings have been saved in memory.

5.Press PAUSE to exit PAUSE mode. PAUSE light turns OFF.
