I-Class Mark II Maintenance Manual

ustments and Maintenance

2.0 Introduction

This section covers the necessary maintenance and alignment procedures for the printer.

2.1 Media Sensor Calibration

This printer can use many different media compositions, configurations and colors. In addition to adjusting the

Media Sensor and selecting the SENSOR TYPE, calibration is required. There are three different calibration

methods.

2.1.1 Quick Calibration

Quick Calibration should be performed as part of the media loading routine to fine-tune the sensing

parameters.



(1) This calibration is not necessary when using continuous stock.

(2) Media containing large gaps may require a change in the PAPER EMPTY 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 button until at least one full label has been output then release the button 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,

CALIBRATION FAILED will be displayed if calibration was not successful. In this case, check the hints

listed below to help resolve the problem:

Calibration Hints:

WARNING LOW BACKING is a normal message when calibrating die-cut media mounted on a highly

translucent liner or notched tag stocks.

If the initial attempt fails, press and hold the FEED button until two successive label TOFs have been

output. If, however, CALIBRATION FAILED is displayed again, perform the Standard Calibration

routine, see Section 2.1.3.

2.1.2 Empty Calibration

Empty Calibration calibrates the printer’s media sensor to detect an ‘Out of Stock’ condition. Calibrate the

printer as follows:

1. Ensure that the printer is ON and in an idle state (i.e., not off-line) with media removed.

2. Press and hold the Pause & Feed buttons together. The printer will now be calibrated for the ‘Out of

Stock’ condition.
