Standard Calibration
Standard Calibration should be performed when ‘CANNOT CALIBRATE’ or ‘UNCALIBRATED’ is
displayed. During this process, the printhead assembly can be raised for visual access. In addition, active
sensor readings can be used to further determine the best position for small, position-critical TOF notches
or marks. Three readings are required:
Empty: A measurement taken with no media over the sensor.
TOF Indicator: A measurement taken with only the media backing, notch, or reflective mark placed
over the sensor.
Paper: A measurement taken with the label (and the liner) placed over the sensor.
Ensure that the ADVANCED MENU (in the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu) has been enabled, and that the
Media SENSOR TYPE (in the MEDIA SETTINGS menu) has been selected. Then, use the steps below
and the displayed prompts to guide you through the procedure:
