Calibrate
This feature is used to optimize the sensitivity of the Transmissive or Reflective sensors (whichever is selected in the Media Sensor
The change in values (derived automatically or manually entered) take affect immediately within the current configuration menu. They can be saved into
•Run Calibrate. Pressing the ENTER key with Run Calibrate displayed initializes the automatic calibration procedure. This advances the media a minimum of 11 inches plus the distance required to detect 3 additional TOF positions. The procedure is successfully completed if no fault message is displayed and the Sensed Distance value is correct. The result is that the Refl Value or Trans Value (depending on which media type is installed) and the Sensed Distance value will be determined automatically.
•Refl Value. Value representing the sensitivity for distinguishing the difference between the black mark and label liner or tag stock for Reflective media. The value range is
•Trans Value. Value representing the sensitivity for distinguishing the difference between the label and the transmissive gap (hole, notch or label liner) for Transmissive media. The value range is
•Sensed Distance. This value (in inches) represents the distance that was sensed between the TOF of one label to the TOF of the next label. With Transmissive media installed the distance equals the physical label length + one transmissive gap, notch or hole. With Reflective media installed the distance equals the trailing edge of one black mark to the trailing edge of the next. The factory default for Sensed Distance is 0.00 inches. This value is automatically determined only after successful completion of the Run Calibrate procedure and cannot be changed manually.
