Calibrating Media Sensors
Important: The first time media is installed, the Media Sensor must be calibrated. After
the first calibration no further calibration is required unless the media type
(length, color, backing material, etc.) is changed or irregular feeding occurs.
1. Ensure the printer is powered off.
2. Verify that the media is properly loaded and routed as detailed in Loading Media
section.
3. Verify the Media Sensor is properly positioned directly over the object to be sensed (gap,
hole, notch).
4. While pressing and holding the PAUSE key, power on the printer.
An alternate method is to access the Calibrate feature in the Setup Menu. Activating this
feature will instantly perform a media Calibration.

5. Release the PAUSE/CALIBR. button when the media begins to feed.
6. When feeding stops the printer has completed the Label Sensor Calibration procedure.
7. When the printer completes the Label Sensor Calibration procedure it will save the related
parameters (sensor, label length, gap/notch/hole length) to memory.
Note:For the Calibration procedure to function properly the proper Media Sensing Type
(Gap or Black Bar) must be selected. This setting may be made using the
FeatureMan program supplied.
