| Media and Ribbon Calibration Procedure |
| ||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to cancel the operation, or do |
|
|
|
| the following: |
|
|
| LOAD BACKING | 1) Open the printhead. |
|
|
|
|
| |
2)Remove approximately 8” (203 mm) of labels from the media roll, enough so that only the backing material is threaded between the media sensors when the media is loaded.
|
| Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to cancel the operation or do |
|
| the following: |
| REMOVE RIBBON | 1) Remove the ribbon (sliding it as far to the right as possible will |
|
| have the same effect as removing it). |
|
| 2) Close the printhead. |
|
|
|
|
| The printer automatically adjusts the scale (gain) of the signals it |
| CALIBRATING | receives from the media and ribbon sensors based on the |
| specific media and ribbon combination you are using. On the | |
| PLEASE WAIT | |
| sensor profile, this essentially corresponds to moving the graph | |
|
| |
|
| up or down to optimize the readings for your application. |
|
|
|
|
| When “RELOAD ALL” is displayed: |
|
| 1) Open the printhead and pull the media forward until a label is |
RELOAD ALL | positioned under the media sensor. |
2)Move the ribbon back to its proper position.
3)Close the printhead.
| Now that the scale has changed, the printer performs a | |
| calibration equivalent to pressing the CALIBRATE key. During | |
MEDIA AND | this process, the printer checks the readings for the media and | |
ribbon based on the new scale you have established, determines | ||
RIBBON | ||
the label length, and determines whether you are in direct | ||
CALIBRATE | ||
thermal or thermal transfer print mode. The process is now | ||
| ||
| complete! To see the new readings on the new scale, print a | |
| sensor profile. |
