1/7/10

Calibrate the printer when it is first put into service. Calibration allows the printer to establish 
the proper settings for the specific media and ribbon used in your application. You may 
calibrate the printer at other times as needed.

calibration.

To retain calibration settings in the printer’s memory when the printer is power 

cycled, you must save the changes permanently. See 

.

The printer automatically sets the value 
it detects for the spaces between labels.

• As part of both the sensor profile and 

media and ribbon sensor calibration 
procedures.

The printer does the following:

• feeds media and ribbon

• sets the values it detects for media 

length, media type (continuous or 
non-continuous), and print mode 
(thermal transfer or direct thermal)

• updates the sensor values

To perform a long calibration, do one of 
the following:

• Press 

PAUSE

 on the control panel to 

pause the printer, and then press

The printer calibrates using the current 
sensor values rather than detecting the 
spaces between labels and resetting the 
sensors. This calibration sequence uses 
fewer labels than the long calibration 
sequence, but it is less reliable because 
the values that are stored in the sensors 
could be incorrect.
