To perform a media and ribbon sensor calibration:
1.Press the right oval to start the calibration procedure. The LOAD BACKING prompt displays.
2.Open the printhead.

6.Remove the ribbon (if used).
7.Close the printhead.
8.Press the right oval to continue.
The message CALIBRATING PLEASE WAIT displays.The print engine adjusts the scale (gain) of the signals that it receives from the media and ribbon sensors based on the specific media and ribbon combination being used. On the sensor profile, this essentially corresponds to moving the peak of the graph up or down to optimize the readings for your application.
When calibration is complete, RELOAD ALL displays.
9.Open the printhead and pull the media forward until a label is positioned under the media sensor.
10.Reload the ribbon (if used).
