6. Press the PAUSE key until OFFLINE displays.
NOTE: The Gap/Mark and Paper Out Threshold values shown on
the Media Profile printout represent the last values
determined from a successful Auto Calibrate or the factory
default values if no Auto Calibrate was performed.
Gap Sensing
This figure shows a Media Profile printout of a smart label where
Gap/Mark Sensor is set to Gap in the CALIBRATE CTRL menu.
In this example, the gap threshold value the printer selected
(represented by the Gap/Mark dotted line) is too close to the
amplitude of the antenna pulse. This may cause the printer to
falsely use the antenna as the gap (top-of-form).
