5.While still holding the Feed button, close the print head.
6.When the Status light goes off, let go of the Feed button.
7.Insert the paper. The printer performs a calibration and stops. If the status light is on and not flashing after calibration, the calibration is successful.
8.Open the print head, remove the paper, then close the print head and insert the paper into the printer. The printer is now ready to be used.
To confirm that the calibration was successful, press the Feed button once. If the printer feeds and cuts at the correct position, the printer is calibrated correctly. If the printer cuts at the incorrect position, repeat steps
To fine tune the cut, modify the value of parameter 46 (Black Mark Sensor Calibration) or change the Cut position value in the driver.
