MANUAL CALIBRATION
Manual calibration is recommended whenever you are
using pre-printed labels (or label backing) or if the printer
will not correctly auto-calibrate.
NOTE: If printing in Direct Thermal Mode, default the
printer first (four flashes).
Load the labels and ribbon (if used) and close
the printer.
Turn on the printer power.
Allow the printer to feed or error out.
Press and hold the Feed button until the green status
LED flashes once, then twice. Release the Feed button.
The printer will set the media sensor for the label
backing being used then automatically feed until a
label is positioned at the printhead. Upon completion,
the printer will save the new settings in memory and
the printer is ready for normal operation.
Press the Feed button. One entire blank label
will feed. If this does not happen, try defaulting
(hold the Feed button until it flashes four times).
NOTE: Performing a manual calibration disables the auto-
calibration function. If you use varying label lengths, you
can set the printer to measure the label length (using the
Zebra Driver or the ^MF command) or return to auto-
calibration by defaulting the printer. (To do this, hold the
Feed button until it flashes four times.)
TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS
Printing a configuration label
To print a listing of the printer’s current configuration,
follow these steps:
Make sure the media is properly loaded and the top
cover of the printer is closed. Then, turn the printer
power on if you have not already done so.
When the status light is solid green, press and hold
the Feed button until the status light flashes once.
Release the Feed button. The printer prints a
configuration report on the available media.
Refer to Figure A for a sample configuration.
If the printer has a 10/100 Ethernet option, a secondary
configuration report specific to the interface will be printed.
Refer to Figure B for a sample configuration.
