Do I Need to Calibrate My Printer?

In order for your thermal prints to have the correct color balance, the
printer ribbon must match the calibration tables contained in your printer.
If your prints have a slight pinkish hue, you are using V1.5 printer
ribbon with V1.0 calibration tables.
If your prints have a slight greenish hue, you are using a V1.0 printer
ribbon with V1.5 calibration tables.
Check the tables in this appendix to determine your printer ribbon
version (V1.0 or V1.5). If your printer ribbon version does not match
the calibration tables in your printer, you must download the correct
calibration tables.
If the calibration tables are correct and you would like to improve the
color balance, refer to the section entitled “Operating the Calibration
Utility” for your particular computer platform in this manual.
