prints a media sensor profile.

on the control panel. See Print Sensor
Profile on page 67 for instructions.
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 control
panel. See Calibrate Media and
Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity on page 68
for instructions.
