4.7.2 Manual Media Sensor Calibration
The Manual Media Sensor Calibration procedure should be used in cases where the printer continues to suffer from media
sensing problems after performing or attempting to perform the Auto Media Sensor Calibration (see Section 4.7.1).
; Note: Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate media type, see Section 4.5.2; also, ensure that the
Printhead Carrier Assembly is latched down and the cover is closed.
To manually calibrate the media sensor:
1. Hold the
CANCEL
button and power-up the printer. Continue to hold the button until the
STOP
light turns off; then
release the button. Next, press and hold the
FEED
button, continue to hold the button until the
STOP
light turns on;
then release the button.
2. Remove all the material from the media sensor, (see Section 3.3 for the sensor’s location), close the Printhead Carrier
Assembly, and then press the
CANCEL
button. The printer will flash the
ERROR
light as it analyzes the no media
condition.
3. Position the backing material or the black (reflective) mark in the media sensor, close the Printhead Carrier Assembly,
and then press the
FEED
button. The printer will flash the
ERROR
light as it analyzes the top of form mark.
4. Place the media with the backing attached (if any) in the media sensor,close the Printhead Carrier Assembly, and then
press the
PAUSE
button. The printer will flash the
ERROR
light as it analyzes the material.
5. Simultaneously and briefly press the
PAUSE
+
CANCEL
buttons to accept the calibration for “test” and exit the
. One of the following lights will flash five times to denote the result of the manual calibration
attempt:
STOP
light = Successful calibration. Proceed to Step 6.
ERROR
light = Unsuccessful calibration. Retry the procedure beginning at Step 1.
6. Use the
FEED
button (feeds a label), and the
CANCEL
button (prints a test label) to test the current calibration.
; Note: If you wish to discard the changes and revert back to the previous calibration simply turn off the printer before Step 7.
7. Now save the changes and resume by pressing the
PAUSE
+
CANCEL
buttons simultaneously and
briefly. Wait until the
STOP
light goes off.
