Media and Ribbon Sensor Calibration

Media and ribbon sensor calibration is one of the most common ad justments to the printer

settings. This procedure i s performed through the front panel.

Indications that the sensitivity may need to be reset are:

•The CHECK RIBBON light is on even though the ribbon is properly installed.

• Non-continuous labels are being treated as continuous labels.

To adjust the sensitivity of media and ribbon sensors, complete these steps:

1. Press SETUP/EXIT.

2. Press NEXT/SAVE unti l “MEDIA AND RIBB ON CALIBRATE” displays.

3. Press the (+) key to start the calibration sequence. “LOAD BACKING CANCEL

CONTINUE” displays.

4. Open the printhead. Remove approximately 8 in. (200 m m) of labels from the media roll,

enough so that only the liner is threaded between the media sensors when the media is

loaded (Figure 29).

5. Press the (+) key. The LCD sho ws “REMOVE RIBBON CANCEL CONTINUE.”

6. Slide the ribbon as far from the printer frame as possible.

Note • Before you begin the calibration procedure, make sure that the maximum length is set

to a value 1 in. (25.4 mm) greater than the length of the labels that you are using. If the

maximum length is se t to a lower value, the calibration pro cess assumes that continuous media

is in the printer.

Important • This procedure must be followed exactly as presented. All of the steps must be

performed even if only one of the sensors requires adjustment. You may press the left oval at

any step in this procedure to cancel the procedure.
