NOTE: Before you begin this procedure, make sure that the maximum length is set to a value equal to or
greater than the length of the labels you are using. If the maximum length is set to a lower value, the
calibration process assumes that continuous media is in the printer. See page 48 for more information.
There are two different types of calibration that can be performed by the printer:
1) Auto Calibration. When the printer is first powered up and after the print head has been closed, the
printer feeds media and automatically sets the value it detects for media, media backing material (the
spaces between labels), and media out. This type of calibration also occurs as part of the sensor profile
and media and ribbon calibration procedures.
2) Media and Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity Calibration. Performing the media and ribbon calibration
procedure first resets the sensitivity of the sensors to better detect the media and ribbon you are using.
With the sensors at their new sensitivity, the printer then performs the auto calibration described above.
Changing the type of ribbon and/or media may require resetting the sensitivity of the media and ribbon
sensors. Indications that the sensitivity may need to be reset would be a CHECK RIBBON light on with the
ribbon properly installed or non-continuous media being treated as continuous media.

SENSOR PROFILE
Sensor Profile: Press NEXT/SAVE to skip this standard calibration
procedure and continue with the media and ribbon calibration
parameter which follows. Press the (+) key to initiate this standard
calibration procedure and print a media sensor profile.
See Figure 26. The media sensor profile may be used to
troubleshoot registration problems that may be caused when the
media sensor detects preprinted areas on the media or experiences
difficulty in determining web location. If the sensitivity of the media
and/or ribbon sensors MUST be adjusted, use the media and ribbon
sensor sensitivity procedure.
