3.5 Automatic Calibration Setting

3.5 Automatic Calibration Setting

Whether to activate the automatic calibration at a power on time or not is selectable in the Automatic Calibration Mode. When the automatic calibration is activated, the printer feeds the media for about 160 mm each time the power is turned on or the Top Cover is opened, to detect a print start position.

<6>AUTO CALIB

NOTES:

1.When this parameter is set to ON, the printer performs an automatic calibration each time the power is turned on or the top cover is closed.

2.When this parameter is set to ON, the media length, effective print length, and sensor type specified in the command are ignored.

3.When “ON REFLECT” is selected, the lowest voltage detected by the black mark sensor is considered as a black mark level. And, the sum of this voltage and the manual threshold voltage will be adopted as a threshold.

4.When “ON TRANS” is selected, the highest voltage detected by the feed gap sensor is considered as a gap level. After subtracting the manual threshold voltage from this voltage, the result will be adopted as a threshold.

5.The printer feeds about 160 mm long media to detect a black mark/gap, measure the media pitch, and determine the threshold. When the printer detects more than two black marks/gaps during this media feed, the automatic calibration is stopped where 1 mm short of the bottom of a black mark or gap. If the printer cannot detect a black mark/gap under this condition by feeding the media for up to 500.0 mm, the printer will stop, resulting in a paper jam.
