7.6  Calibrating Sensors and Changing 
Settings
The calibration of sensors and setting of the device functions is 
done using the feed button while the device is being switched 
on. The LED display will flash and change colors throughout the 
process.
Color sequence (change every 5 seconds)
Red Yellow Green Green/yellow Red/yellow
The feed button must be held down while the colors change 
until the LED display shows the correct color for the desired 
function, e.g. “red” to calibrate the sensors.

Description
Define the sensor for black marking as 
the media sensor and calibrate
Green/yellow To calibrate labels with black markings
Define the distance sensor as the media 
sensor and calibrate
Red/yellow To calibrate labels with gaps
Calibrate sensor for black marking and 
distance sensor
Red For the initial calibration when using individual labels. The 
calibration is saved to protected memory.
Calibrate sensor for black marking and 
distance sensor, perform self-test, and 
print in core dump mode
Yellow The following functions are run one after the other:
 − The sensitivity of the sensors is set. During this process, the 
device measures the length of the labels.
 − The device performs a self-test and prints the configuration 
data (see Chapter “7.6.1 Check the Configuration Data of the 
Device”, page 19).
 − The device prints a core dump (see Chapter “7.6.2 Checking 
Core Dump”, page 19).
Restore device to factory settings Green If the device has been calibrated to print individual labels: To 
change calibration to print on continuous paper
The following functions are conducted:
 − The internal memory (DRAM) is deleted.
 − The device is reset to factory settings.
Requirements
 − The ink ribbon and media have been inserted in the device.
 − If a self-test needs to be performed: The inserted media 
have the required minimum width (see Chapter “12.1 
Decontaminating the Device”, page 22).
Procedure
 t Switch off the device.
 t Press and hold the feed button while switching on the 
device.
 t Hold the feed button down until the LED display shows the 
correct color for the desired function, e.g. “red” to calibrate 
the sensors.
 t When the LED display shows the correct color: Release the 
feed button.
