Operations Overview

Sensor Profile

Press the right oval key to print a graphic representation (Media Sensor Profile) of the 

changes in density between the media and the web (liner). Use the sensor profile to help 

troubleshoot media registration problems.

Refer to 

. The media sensor profile shows three conditions. The black area 

along the bottom of the profile illustrates media passing by the media sensor. When the 

level rises above the point labeled Web (black spikes), only the liner is passing by the 

sensor. When a notch or hole in the media passes by the sensor, the level rises above the 

point labeled Media. If the level remains above the Media point for longer than 

0.5 seconds, this signifies a media-out condition. The ribbon profile indicates ribbon in if 

the black level is above the point labeled Ribbon.

Press NEXT/SAVE to display MEDIA AND RIBBON.

Note • Before you begin this procedure, ensure the maximum length is set to a 
value greater than the length of the labels you are using. If the maximum length 
is set to a lower value, the calibration process assumes that continuous media 
is in the printer.

Ensure that the media type and maximum length values have been configured 
prior to performing this calibration process.
