Label Sensor Calibration Procedure

The Label Sensor Calibration procedure allows the printer to calibrate the Label Sensor to the media type and length being used. The Label Sensor in this procedure looks at the back of the media sensing for:

Black Bar Media Gap Media

Or, Continuous Feed Media

1.Power the printer on while pressing the Feed button on the front panel.

2.When the feed motor begins moving, release the “FEED” button.

3.The printer will feed approximately 12 inches of blank media.

4.Once the printer has stopped feeding the user can, open the printhead module and manually reverse feed the media back to the first label.

5.Press the Feed button again to align the media to the top of the next label.

Notes:

These steps are very important and must always be carried out after the first installation and each time the media type (color, size, backing, etc) is changed. Failure to run the Label Sensor Calibration test may result in the label registration errors and label-empty detection being incorrect.
