3. The STATUS indicator will show solid yellow, indicating the currently selected mode is: Manual Media
Calibration.
• Pressing the FEED buttonwill sequentially cycle through all available modes.
• Pressing the PAUSE button will activate the selected mode.
• Pressing the CANCEL button will exit Advanced Mode.
Manual Media Calibration Mode
The Manual Media Calibration performs an optimizedseries of focused sensor settings for hard-to-sense
media.
While in Advanced Mode, press PAUSE while the Status indicator is illuminated yellow to start Manual
Media Calibration.
1. The media indicator will flash yellow than the pause indicator will flash.
2. Open the printer and verify the media sensor is in the center position for label gap (transmissive)
sensing.
NOTE:
If your media uses black mark or notch sensing, ensure the media sensor is in the proper
location to see the mark or notch.
If your media is pre-printed, either on the front of the label or on the back of the liner, position
the sensor so that it is in a position with minimal printing. You may need to perform Manual
Media Calibration several times, moving the media sensor, until the printer completes the
calibration process and returns to theREADYstate.
3. Remove 3 inches or 80mm of labels from the liner.
4. Place the label-less area of the liner over the platen (drive) roller with the leading edge of the first label
under the media guides.
5. Close the printer and press PAUSE once.
The media indicator will flash as the media liner is measured. When complete, the pause indicator will
begin flashing.
6. Open the printer and reposition the media so that a label is located directly above the movable sensor.
Close the printer.
7. Press PAUSE once.
The printer willfeedand measure several labels. If the printer is able to determine the correct
media type (gap, black mark, or notch) and measure the media length, the printer will return to
theREADYstate, the status indicator is solid green.
Using the Manual Print Width Adjustment
Use this procedure to set the maximum print width without programming.
NOTE: Do not set the print width wider than the media width. The printhead andplaten (drive)
rollercan be damaged or degrade component life.
1. Press the PAUSE button while the Pause indicator is illuminated yellow.
2. The printer prints a 16 mm (0.63 in.) box and pauses momentarily.
