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

 shows the different methods 

for calibration.

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

Occurs at the following times:

• When the print engine is first 

turned on if CALIBRATION is 
selected for

(see 

• When the print engine 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 print engine 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 front panel to 

pause the print engine, and then 
press CALIBRATE.

• Select CALIBRATION for the

The print engine 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.
