Calibrating Media Sensors

Important: The first time media is installed, the Media Sensors must be calibrated. After the first calibration no further calibration is required unless the media type (length, color, backing material, etc.) is changed or irregular feeding occurs.

1.Ensure the printer is powered off.

2.Verify that the media is properly loaded and routed as detailed in Loading Media Section.

3.If the media has a gap greater than 4mm, then Switch #4 needs to be in the On position and the GAP HEIGHT feature needs to be set to the proper value.

4.While pressing and holding the PAUSE/CALIBR. button, power on the printer.

5.Release the PAUSE/CALIBR. button when:

The message “CALIBRATION …” is displayed on the LCD.

6.Approximately 12 inches of media will be fed.

7.When feeding stops and the READY and MEDIA indicators stop blinking and remain illuminated, the printer has completed the Label Sensor Calibration procedure.

On the models with a LCD, the printer will display 'READY'.

8.When the printer completes the Label Sensor Calibration procedure it will save the related parameters (reflection characteristics, label length, etc.) to EEPROM.

Caution:

Running labels that are less than 1.5 inches in length without

 

the correct calibration can result in loss of gap detection.
