3.5 Automatic Calibration Setting
Whether to activate the automatic calibration at a power on time or not is selectable in the Automatic
Calibration Mode. When the automatic calibration is activated, the printer feeds the media for about 160
mm each time the power is turned on or the Top Cover is opened, to detect a print start position.
How to Choose an Automatic Calibration Setting
NOTES:
1. When this parameter is set to ON, the printer performs an automatic calibration each time the power is turned
on or the top cover is closed.
2. When this parameter is set to ON, the media length, effective print length, and sensor type specified in the
command are ignored.
3. When “ON REFLECT” is selected, the lowest voltage detected by the lower black mark sensor is considered
as a black mark level. And, the sum of this voltage and the manual threshold voltage will be adopted as a
threshold.
4. When “ON TRANS” is selected, the highest voltage detected by the feed gap sensor is considered as a gap
level. After subtracting the manual threshold voltage from this voltage, the result will be adopted as a
threshold.
5. The printer feeds about 160 mm long media to detect a black mark/gap, measure the media pitch, and
determine the threshold. When the printer detects more than two black marks/gaps during this media feed,
the automatic calibration is stopped where 1 mm short of the bottom of a black mark or gap. If the printer
cannot detect a black mark/gap under this condition by feeding the media for up to 500.0 mm, the printer will
stop, resulting in a paper jam.
6. This function is available only when the media pitch is 10.0 mm to 150.0 mm.
7. When a label end or head open error occurs during an automatic calibration, the printer stops, resulting in an
error.
8. During an automatic calibration, the ribbon motor is rotated. Even if the ribbon is not loaded, this function
does not result in an error. However, the print condition will be automatically changed to “No ribbon” after the
calibration ends.
