Note: Perform the calibration procedure when media and ribbon are
first installed and each time a different type of media or ribbon is
installed.
During this procedure, the printer automatically determines the media
type, label length, media and ribbon sensor settings, and printing method.
Media type is determined by sensing either continuous or non-continuous
media as blank labels move through the printer. If non-continuous media
is sensed, label length is also calibrated. If ribbon is sensed, the thermal
transfer print method is configured. If no ribbon is present, the direct
thermal print method is configured.
The results of this calibration are stored in the printer’s memory. These
parameters remain in effect until the next calibration is performed. The
printer configuration printout, which prints when the CANCEL Key Self
Test is performed, lists these results as well as other printer parameters.
Note: If the printer is in the peel-off mode, the operator must “catch”
the labels as they are peeled away from the backing during this
procedure.
1. Load media and ribbon (if used). Make sure the media sensor is
properly positioned (see “Media and Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity
Adjustment” on page 63).
Note: To use the black mark sensing mode, make sure you set the Bank
2 DIP switches appropriately (see page 41).
2. Turn the power switch ON. When the Power-On Self Test is
complete, the POWER, PAUSE, and PAPER/RIBBON lights are ON.
3. Briefly press the MODE key three times. PAUSE and CALIBRATE
lights turn ON.
4. Press UP (FEED Key) to calibrate. The printer feeds some media.
The MODE lights flash ON and OFF to indicate that the settings have
been saved in memory.
5. Press PAUSE to exit PAUSE mode. PAUSE light turns OFF.
