3.4.1 Quick Calibration
Quick Calibration should be performed as part of the media loading routine to fine-tune the
sensing parameters.
(1) This calibration is not necessary when using continuous stock.
(2) Media containing large gaps may require a change in the PAPER EMPTY DISTANCE before
proceeding.
Calibrate the printer as follows:
1. Ensure that the printer is ON and in an idle state (i.e., not off-line) with media loaded, the
media sensor adjusted, and the sensor type selected.
2. Press and hold the FEED Key until at least one full label has been output then release the key
and wait for the printer to process the data. There are two possible outcomes:
CALIBRATION COMPLETE - will be displayed, and the media will be advanced to the next top
of form if calibration was successful; or,
CALIBRATION FAILED will be displayed if calibration was not successful. In this case, check
the hints listed below to help resolve the problem:
Calibration Hints:
WARNING LOW BACKING is a normal message when calibrating die-cut media mounted on a
highly translucent liner or notched tag stocks.
If the initial attempt fails, press and hold the FEED Key until two successive label TOFs have
been output. If, however, CALIBRATION FAILED is displayed again, perform the Standard
Calibration routine, see Section 3.4.3.
3.4.2 Empty Calibration
Empty Calibration calibrates the printer’s media sensor to detect an ‘Out of Stock’ condition.
Calibrate the printer as follows:
1. Ensure that the printer is ON and in an idle state (i.e., not off-line) with media removed.
2. Press and hold the Pause & Feed Keys together. The printer will now be calibrated for the ‘Out
of Stock’ condition.
