Operations Overview
Section 2
Two types of calibrations can be performed by the 110XiIIIPlus printer:
Type 1 — Auto-Calibration: The 110XiIIIPlus-Series printers auto-calibrate on power
up. Turning the printer On (l) causes the printer to feed media and ribbon and set the
values it detects. This includes media, liner (the spaces between labels), media out, and
ribbon in and out status. This form of calibration also occurs as part of the Media and
Ribbon Calibration procedures.
Type 2 — Manual Calibration (using non-continuous media): Performing the Media and
Ribbon Calibration procedure below first resets the sensitivity of the sensors to detect the
media and ribbon you are using. With the sensors at their new sensitivity levels, the printer
then performs the standard calibration described above. Changing the type of ribbon or
media may require this calibration process to reset the sensitivity of the media and ribbon
sensors. Indications that the sensitivity may need to be reset include a CHECK RIBBON
light with the ribbon properly installed or noncontinuous media being treated as
continuous media.
Calibrate Media and Ribbon (Manual) Procedure
Note • The following procedure adjusts the sensitivity of the media and ribbon
sensors. It must be followed exactly as presented. All steps must be performed
