Adjust and Calibrate Sensors
This section describes how to adjust and calibrate sensors.
Media and Ribbon Sensor Calibration
Media and ribbon sensor calibration is one of the most common adjustments to the printer
settings. This procedure is 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. From the front panel, press the right oval to start the calibration procedure.
The

prompt displays.
2. Open the printhead.
3. Remove approximately 8 in. (203 mm) of labels from the media backing, and pull the
media into the printer so that only the backing is between the media sensors.
4. Leave the printhead open.
5. Press the right oval to continue.
The

prompt displays.
6. Remove the ribbon (if used).
7. Close the printhead.
8. Press the right oval to continue.

displays.
The printer adjusts the scale (gain) of the signals that it receives from the media and
ribbon sensors. On the sensor profile, this essentially corresponds to moving the peak of
the graph up or down to optimize the readings for your application (for more information,
see Sensor Profile on page 49).
When calibration is complete,
RELOAD ALL
displays.
9. Open the printhead and pull the media forward until a label is positioned under the media
sensor.
10. Reload the ribbon (if used) into to its proper position.
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 set to a lower value, the calibration process 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.
