2.9.1 Media Sensor
Calibration
This utility is used to calibrate the sensitivity of the Feed Gap/Black
Mark Sensor.
It is necessary to set the media sensors after the media is changed to
different type.
1. First, select the sensor to calibrate in the following procedure.
2. Turn off the printer, load the media properly, and close the Top Cover.
Note: Do not place pre-printed area above the media sensor, as doing
so disables a correct sensor calibration.
3. To calibrate the Black Mark Sensor, align the sensor position with the
black marks on the media. (Refer to Section 2.7.)
4. Press the [FEED] Button while turning on the printer.
The Indicator Lamp will light up in the following order:
Green (Flashing) → Red (Flashing) → Orange (Flashing) →
Orange → RED → Green
5. Release the [FEED] button when the indicator lamp lights up in red.
The printer automatically feeds the media to perform a sensor
calibration.
Note: If you failed to release the [FEED] button at the right timing,
retry from Step 4.
6. To start the Online operation, turn the printer off, then on again.
