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.

calibration.

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

• When the printer is first turned on if

• When the printer feeds media after 

the printhead is closed if

• 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

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.
