Calibrating The Printer

Making A Media Profile Printout
The Media Profile printout shows the relationship of the Paper Out
Threshold and the Gap/Mark Threshold values, illustrates if and
when each label length indicator is detected, and shows the
difference between the label length indicators and the label. The
profile printout (see figure on page 33) helps you set the thresholds
for difficult media. This includes pre-printed labels, labels with poor
gap/media dynamic range, and smart labels that have embedded
RFID tags.
NOTE: Verify the CALIBRATE CTRL menu Gap/Mark Sensor
option (Disable, Mark, Gap, Advanced Gap, or Advanced
Notch) matches the installed media.
You will need a minimum installed label width of two inches
to support the Media Profile printout.
Ensure the lower media sensor is horizontally positioned to
permit sensing of the label length indicators. See
“Positioning The Media Sensors” on page 28.
Ensure the Print Mode option selected in the QUICK
SETUP menu matches the media installed. Select Direct
for heat sensitive media (no ribbon required) or Transfer for
thermal transfer media (ribbon required).
