Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to initiate this standard calibration proce-

dure and print a media sensor profile.

See Figure 8. 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 sensitiv-

ity of the media and/or ribbon sensors MUST be adjusted, use the Media and

Ribbon Sensor Calibration procedure.

Media and Ribbon Calibration Procedure

LOAD BACKING Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to cancel the operation, or do the following:

1. Open the printhead.

2. Remove approximately 8” (203 mm) of labels from the media roll, enough

so that only the backing material is threaded between the media sensors

when the media is loaded.

REMOVE RIBBON Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to cancel the operation, or do the following:

1. Remove the ribbon (sliding it as far to the right on left-hand units or left on

right-hand units as possible will have the same effect as removing it).
