Quick Calibration
Quick Calibration should be performed as part of your media loading routine to fine-tune the
sensing parameters.
Notes:
(1) This calibration is not necessary when using continuous stock.
(2) Media containing large gaps may require a change in the PAPER OUT
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 one label TOF 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,
• CANNOT CALIBRATE will be displayed if calibration was not successful. In this case,
check the hints listed below to help resolve the problem:
Calibration Hints:
o WARNING LOW BACKING is a normal message when calibrating die-cut media
mounted on a highly translucent liner or notched tag stocks.
o If the initial attempt fails, press and hold the FEED Key until two successive label
TOFs have been output. If, however, CANNOT CALIBRATE is displayed again,
perform the Standard Calibration routine.
