printer will return to normal operation only you cycle power for restarting this printer.

5.2 Calibration

CX400 unit had been calibrated at the factory for using with SATO standard ribbon and media. Other ribbon/media combinations

may or may not index properly with these settings. You might need to perform various calibrations to adapt the variance caused

by the particular Media & Ribbon.

5.2.1 To Calibrate Media Sensor

You might need to perform “Media Sensor Calibration” if Printer frequently skips a blank label, the variance for “Printing

position” in every label is too obvious, or the image on printed label is not located as what you set.

The Calibration for media sensor can be done by clicking the Calibration Buttons in the Label Wizard CX software or the

Windows Printer Driver. If it is not convenient for you to calibrate Media Sensor with those application software, this sensor

calibration also can be performed by directly sending “ Printer Commands for Media Sensor Calibration” to printer.

1. Install well the Media and Ribbon ( TT mode )

2. You can calibrate the Media Sensor with Application S/W.
