Adjust and Calibrate Sensors

This section describes how to adjust and calibrate sensors.

Media and ribbon sensor calibration is one of the most common adjustments to the printer 
settings. This procedure is performed through the front panel.

Indications that the sensitivity may need to be reset are:

• The CHECK RIBBON light is on even though the ribbon is properly installed.
• Non-continuous labels are being treated as continuous labels.

Press SETUP/EXIT.

Press NEXT/SAVE until “MEDIA AND RIBBON CALIBRATE” displays.

Press the (+) key to start the calibration sequence. “LOAD BACKING CANCEL 
CONTINUE” displays.

Open the printhead. Remove approximately 8

 

in. (200 mm) of labels from the media roll, 

enough so that only the liner is threaded between the media sensors when the media is 
loaded (

Press the (+) key. The LCD shows “REMOVE RIBBON CANCEL CONTINUE.”

Slide the ribbon as far from the printer frame as possible.

Before you begin the calibration procedure, make sure that the maximum length is set 

to a value 1 in. (25.4 mm) greater than the length of the labels that you are using. If the 
maximum length is set to a lower value, the calibration process assumes that continuous media 
is in the printer.

This procedure must be followed exactly as presented. All of the steps must be 

performed even if only one of the sensors requires adjustment. You may press the left oval at 
any step in this procedure to cancel the procedure.
