4.6.2 Manual Media Sensor Calibration

The Manual Media Sensor Calibration procedure should be used in cases where the printer continues to suffer from media sensing problems after performing or attempting to perform the Auto Media Sensor Calibration (see Section 4.6.1).

;Note: Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate media type, see Section 4.4.2; also, ensure that the Printhead Carrier Assembly is latched down and the cover is closed.

To manually calibrate the media sensor:

1.Hold the button and power-up the printer. Continue to hold the button until the PAUSED Light turns off; then release the button. Next, press and hold the button, continue to hold the button until the PAUSED Light turns on; then release the button.

2.Place the media with the backing attached (if any) over the media sensor (see Section 3.2 for the sensor’s location), close the Printhead Carrier Assembly, and then press the button. The printer will flash the FAULT Light as it analyzes the material.

3.Position the backing material or the black (reflective) mark over the media sensor, close the Printhead Carrier Assembly, and then press the button. The printer will flash the FAULT Light as it analyzes the top of form mark.

4.Remove all the material from the media sensor, close the Printhead Carrier Assembly, and then press the button. The printer will flash the FAULT Light as it analyzes the no media condition.

5.Simultaneously and briefly press the + buttons to accept the

calibration for “test” and exit the . One of the following Indicators will flash five times to denote the result of the manual calibration attempt:

PAUSED Light = Successful calibration. Proceed to Step 6.

FAULT Light = Unsuccessful calibration. Retry the procedure beginning at Step 1.

6.Use the button (feeds a label), and the button (prints a test label) to test the current calibration.
