Setup
Run a SmartCal Media Calibration
The printer needs to set the media parameters for prior to printing optimal operation. The
printer will automatically determine media type (web/gap, black mark/notch, or continuous)
and measure media characteristics.
Important • After the initial calibration to a specific media is completed, it is not required
to perform additional calibrations each time the media is replaced. The printer
automatically measures the media to adjust for small changes in the media characteristics
while printing.
Pressing the FEED (Advance) once or twice after a new roll of media (same batch) has been
installed will synchronize the labels. It is then ready to continue printing.
SmartCal Procedure
1. Make sure the media and ribbon cartridge (if you are thermal transfer printing) are
loaded properly in the printer and the top cover of the printer is closed.
2. Press the POWER button to turn the printer on.
3. Once the printer is in the ready state (Status indicator is solid green), press and hold
the PAUSE and CANCEL button for two (2) seconds and release.
4. The printer will measure a few labels and adjust media sensing levels.
5. When the printer stops, the Status indicator will turn solid green.
