start-up of the printer - utilizing two to four labels to calibrate for efficient operation and less waste.
The printer will also save the new settings in memory until the next calibration is performed.
• A manual calibration procedure can also be performed, if required. Consult your User’s Guide for
more details on the specific manual calibration steps.
