Media and Ribbon Sensor Calibration

NOTE: Before you begin this procedure, make sure that the maximum length is set to a value equal to or greater than the length of the labels you are using. If the maximum length is set to a lower value, the calibration process assumes that continuous media is in the printer. See page 46 for more information.

There are two different types of calibration that can be performed by the printer:

1)Auto Calibration. When the printer is first powered up and after the printhead has been closed, the printer feeds media and automatically sets the value it detects for media, media backing material (the spaces between labels), and media out. This type of calibration also occurs as part of the sensor profile and media and ribbon calibration procedures.

2)Media and Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity Calibration. Performing the media and ribbon calibration procedure first resets the sensitivity of the sensors to better detect the media and ribbon you are using. With the sensors at their new sensitivity, the printer then performs the auto calibration described above. Changing the type of ribbon and/or media may require resetting the sensitivity of the media and ribbon sensors. Indications that the sensitivity may need to be reset would be a CHECK RIBBON light on with the ribbon properly installed or non-continuous media being treated as continuous media.
