Section 2 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 Figure 2-18. 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.

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.
