Media and Ribbon Sensor Calibration

Performing the manual calibration procedure resets the sensitivity of the sensors to detect the media and ribbon you are using more accurately. With the sensors at their new sensitivity, the printer then performs the manual calibration. Changing the type of ribbon and/or media may require resetting the sensitivity of the media and ribbon sensors.
