2.5.3 Label Utility tool
The Label Utility tool can be found on the enclosed CD. Use it for the following functions:
1. serial communication settings (HandShake, Stop bit, Data bit, print rate),
2. basic printer settings (paper size, printing speed and density, paper type, use of ribbon),
3. language settings (code tables),
4. media sensor calibration (manual settings for materials), and
5. other.
More tips can be found on the enclosed CD in the United Label Printer Utility Manual
("Metapace_Label_Unified_Utility") in the "Utilities" folder.
2.5.4 Media calibration
The printer has been designed to recognise gaps between labels automatically. In order to do so,
it will use up three labels when it prints for the first time. If it still does not recognise the gaps,
the calibration function must be activated manually. During this procedure, the printer will:
1. adjust the label detection sensor and measure the actual length of the label;
2. adjust the gap detection sensor and measure the actual gap length between labels.
