CALIBRATE
Media and Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity: Press NEXT/SAVE to
skip the calibration procedure and continue with the host port
selection parameters that follow. Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL
key to start the calibration procedure.
This procedure is used to adjust the sensitivity of the media and
ribbon sensors.
NOTE: The procedure must be followed exactly as presented.
All steps must be performed even if only one of the
sensors requires adjustment.
Media and Ribbon Calibration Procedure
LOAD BACKING
Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to cancel the operation, or do
the following:
1) Open the printhead.
2) Remove approximately 8" (203 mm) of labels from the media
roll, and pull the backing into the printer so that only the
backing is between the media sensors.
3) Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to continue.
REMOVE RIBBON
Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to cancel the operation or do
the following:
1) Remove the ribbon.
2) Close the printhead.
3) Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to continue.
CALIBRATING
PLEASE WAIT
The printer automatically adjusts the scale (gain) of the signals it
receives from the media and ribbon sensors. On the sensor
profile, this essentially corresponds to moving the peak of the
graph up or down to optimize the readings for your application.
— RELOAD ALL
When “RELOAD ALL” is displayed:
1) Open the printhead and pull the media forward until a label is
positioned under the media sensor.
2) Reload the ribbon back into to its proper position.
3) Close the printhead.
4) Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to continue.
MEDIA AND
RIBBON
CALIBRATE
Now that the scale has changed, the printer performs a
calibration equivalent to pressing the CALIBRATE key; during this
process, the printer determines the label length. The process is
now complete! To see the new readings on the new scale, print a
sensor profile.
