This type of media has some type of physical characteristic (web, notch, perforation, etc.) that indicates the start/end of each label.

The media sensor must be properly positioned to sense these indicators as described above. Then, turn on the printer. If the printer does not auto calibrate, press the MODE button three times, and then the FEED button once, to manually calibrate (a label prints showing the sensor profile).

Since continuous media does not contain label start/end indicators, you must tell the printer via software how long each label is. If you are using ZPL or ZPL II, include a Label Length (^LL) instruction in each label format you send to the printer (refer to your ZPL II Programming Guide). If you are using other software to operate your printer, refer to the instructions provided with that software.

This procedure occurs whenever the printer is turned on or the printhead is opened and closed. During this procedure, the printer automatically determines the media type, label length, media and ribbon sensor settings, and printing method (direct thermal or thermal transfer). This procedure is set at the factory but may be changed via ZPL II command.

NOTE: If the printer fails to auto calibrate when you are using pre- printed labels or pre-printed label backing, or if the printer does not auto calibrate, see “Manual Calibration” on page 53.

1.Load the media and ribbon (if used).

2.Turn on the printer power.

3.Two or three blank labels feed, completing auto calibration.
