SECTION 2 OPERATION OVERVIEW

,1,7,$/32:(583

After you have correctly installed the media and ribbon, set the power switch to the on (1)

position. The printer performs a Power On Self-Test (POST). When this is complete, the

display shows, “PRINTER READY”.

NOTE: This procedure must be performed when the printer is first installed or if it

does not properly detect the top of the label.

To calibrate the printer, you must do the following:

• Determine the type of media or labels being used.

•Chose the print method.

• Position the media sensors, if necessary.

• Configure the printer and software or driver based on the label being used.

• Perform a media and ribbon calibration.

•Print a test label.

Two types of calibrations can be performed by the printer:

Type 1 — Auto Calibration: The 105SL printer auto calibrates on power up. Turning the

printer on causes the printer to feed media and ribbon and set the values it detects. This

includes media, media backing material (the spaces between labels), media out, and ribbon

in/out status. This form of calibration also occurs as part of the “Media and Ribbon

Calibration” procedures.

Type 2 — Manual Calibration (using non-continuous media): Performing the “Media and

Ribbon Calibration” procedure, below, first resets the sensitivity of the sensors to better

detect the media and ribbon you are using. With the sensors at their new sensitivity levels,

the printer then performs the standard calibration described above. Changing the type of

ribbon and/or media may require this calibration process to reset 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.

NOTE: The following procedure is used to adjust the sensitivity of the media and

ribbon sensors. It must be followed exactly as presented. All steps must

be performed even if only one of the sensors requires adjustment.

1. Press SETUP/EXIT key. Press NEXT/SAVE key until Media and Ribbon Calibrate

appears.
