Zebra Technologies 3844-Z Calibration Procedure, Font Specifications 300 dpi 12 dots/mm

Calibration Procedure

•The 3844-Z is equipped with a standard auto-calibration feature that initiates automatically during start-up of the printer - utilizing two to four labels to calibrate for efficient operation and less waste. The printer will also save the new settings in memory until the next calibration is performed.

•A manual calibration procedure can also be performed, if required. Consult your User’s Guide for more details on the specific manual calibration steps.
