4.6.2 Auto Media Calibration Procedure

The ‘Auto Media Calibration Procedure’ allows the operator to automatically obtain the optimum (TOF Low and TOF Delta) values for a particular media. These values are useful for media that continues to have troubles after Media Sensor has been manually calibrated (usually preprinted media). This operation feeds 10 inches of media using the current Media Sensor Calibration setting and calculates the TOF Delta and TOF Low values to be used. Upon completion the printer will exit back to ‘Calibration Mode’ flashing the PAUSED light if successful or the FAULT light if not successful.

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.

To perform the Auto Media Calibration complete the following steps:

1.Load the desired media.

2.Hold the button while powering up the printer. Continue to hold the button until the PAUSED light turns off then release.

3.Next press the button, (the printer will now calibrate to the media)

4.The PAUSED light will flash 5 times to indicate a successful calibration. The FAULT light will flash 3 times to indicate an unsuccessful calibration.

Note: If you wish to discard your changes and revert back to the previous calibration simply turn off the printer before Step 5.

5.Now you can save your changes and resume by again pressing the + buttons simultaneously.
