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. 

 shows the different methods for 

calibration.

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

Occurs at the following times:

• When the printer is first turned 

on if CALIBRATION is 
selected for MEDIA POWER 
UP (see 

• When the printer feeds media 

after the printhead is closed if 
CALIBRATION is selected for 
HEAD CLOSE (see 

• 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 

CALIBRATE

.

• Select CALIBRATION for the 

MEDIA POWER UP or HEAD 
CLOSE parameter (see 

 or 

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.

Select SHORT CAL for the 
MEDIA POWER UP or HEAD 
CLOSE parameter (see 

The printer auto-calibrates and 
prints a media sensor profile. See 

Select the SENSOR PROFILE 
option on the control panel. See 

 

for instructions.
