Printer Operation
Calibrate the Printer
Calibrate the Printer
Auto Calibration
The R4Mplus automatically calibrates on power up. During auto calibration, the printer
determines the label length and sensor settings.
Auto calibration occurs when the printer is turned on and each time the printer recovers from
an error condition. To clear an error, open and close the printhead assembly and then press
PAUSE. The printer begins auto calibration when all errors have been cleared.
The results of the auto calibration are stored in the printer's memory and are retained even if
printer power is removed. These parameters remain in effect until the next calibration is
performed.
Manual Calibration
Perform a media and ribbon sensor calibration to reset the sensitivity of the sensors so the
media and ribbon are detected more accurately. If you change the type of ribbon or media,
your printer may operate better if this calibration is performed.
For instructions, refer to Media and Ribbon Sensor Calibration (Manual Calibration)
on page 56.

Note • If the front panel setting for MEDIA POWER UP or HEAD CLOSE are set to
LENGTH, NO MOTION, or FEED, the printer starts printing without auto calibrating.
