Calibrating the Media Thickness Sensor

1.Verify the carriage head height and calibrate the head height if needed.

2.From the Front Page, select Calibrations > Service Cali- brations > Media Thickness Sensor Calibration.

If you already entered this calibration from the previous calibration, skip this step and go to the next step.

3.Press ! (Proceed).

The control panel will report the current sensor reading and the optimal range.

4.Press ! (Proceed).

The control panel prompts you to remove media if any media is loaded.
