4.6.1 Media Sensor Calibration Procedure

The ‘Media Sensor Calibration Procedure’ allows the operator to recalibrate the selected media sensor (reflective or gap) for a selected media. Follow the steps below to calibrate your sensor.

Note: Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate media type, see section 4.4.2, also be sure the printhead is latched down and the cover is closed.

1.Hold the button while powering up the printer, continue to hold the button until the PAUSED light turns off then release. Next press and hold the button, continue to hold the button until the PAUSED light turns on then release.

2. Place a sample of your media (with backing) over the media sensor, close the printhead, and then press the button. The printer will flash the FAULT light until it has finished analyzing the material.

3. Place a sample of your media backing or position the reflective mark of your continuous media over the media sensor, close the printhead, and then press the button. The printer will flash the FAULT light until it has finished analyzing the material.

4.Remove all media from the media sensor, close the printhead, and then press the button. The printer will flash the FAULT light until it has finished analyzing the media sensor for no media.

5.Once the calibration is complete (all three operations performed) press the

+ buttons simultaneously to accept the current calibration for “test” and

exit the .

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

Note: If you wish to discard your changes and revert back to the previous calibration simply turn off the printer before Step 7.
