prints a media sensor profile.
Select the SENSOR PROFILE
option on the front panel. See Print
Sensor Profile on page 64 for

Media and Ribbon
Sensor Sensitivity
Calibration
One of the most common
adjustments to print engine settings.
The print engine resets the sensitivity
of the sensors to detect correctly the
media and ribbon that you are using.
If you change the type of ribbon
and/or media, you might need to reset
the sensitivity of the media and
ribbon sensors. When the sensors are
at their new sensitivity, the print
engine performs an auto-calibration.
Select the
MEDIA AND RIBBON
CALIBRATE
option on the front
panel. See Calibrate Media and
Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity on page 65
for instructions.
