calibration as follows:
1. Connect the host to the printer with a serial
or parallel cable.
2. Turn ON the printer.
3. Launch the DMXConfig utility.

toolbar button (top-left). This will connect to
the printer and get the current printer
settings.
5. Select the Sensor Calibration Tab and then
click the Media Calibration Wizard button.
When prompted click OK to start the
calibration wizard.
6. The Calibration Wizard will now prompt you to
Load Stock. Ensure that media is properly

and click OK.
