Auto Calibration
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 will not auto calibrate,
see “Manual Calibration” in Troubleshooting.
1. Load the media and ribbon (if used).
2. Turn on the printer power.
3. Two or three blank labels will feed, completing auto calibration.
