Use the calibration procedure in this section when necessary to calibrate the printer based on
the media and ribbon that you are currently using. Manual calibration is recommended
whenever you are using pre-printed labels (or label backing) or if the printer will not correctly
auto calibrate.
• For issues that may be resolved by sensor calibration, see Printing Issues on page 136.
• For a summary of the options for initiating calibration, see Media and Ribbon Sensor
Calibration on page 94.
To perform sensor calibration, complete these steps:

printer’s display:

performed even if only one of the sensors requires adjustment. You may press and hold
CANCEL at any step in this procedure to cancel the process.
