About Smart Calibration
Smart Calibration detects media type (gap, black mark, or continuous), detects
printing method (ribbon or no-ribbon), and calibrates media length. This feature
reduces the amount of media needed to set up the printer. Smart Calibration is
available as an option for these media settings:
• Power Up Action (default setting)
• Head Down Action (default setting)
• Hold Print/Feed Button (default setting)
Print a Test Label
After you load the media and ribbon, print a test label to verify that everything is
installed correctly and to get printer information.
1. From the Main Menu, select Tools > Test Labels.
2. Select the label you want to print and press . The printer prints your test
label.
How to Create and Print Labels
Use one of these methods to create and print labels:
Use Honeywell printer software. You can download label design software and
printer drivers from
sps.honeywell.com.
Use the Fingerprint or IPL printer command language. For help, see the Finger-
print Command Reference or the IPL Command Reference manuals.
Printing on RFID Media
Media containing RFID tags is slightly thicker where the RFID tag is located. The
slight thickness of this part of the label may affect print quality. For thermal trans-
fer labels, use a high-quality ink ribbon, such as TMX 2200 or TMX 1500.
To achieve the best possible print quality, follow these guidelines:
• After you load RFID media, restart the printer or run a TESTFEED to let the
printer identify the RFID media type.
• If necessary, modify the TAGADJUST variable to make sure that the RFID
labels are properly aligned with the antenna.
• If necessary, avoid printing on the thickest part of the label.
