Calibration ensures correct media detection.
3.7.1 Quick Calibration
Quick Calibration should be performed as part of the media loading routine to fine-tune the sensing
parameters.


This calibration is not necessary when using continuous stock.

Media containing large gaps may require a change in the Paper Out Distance before proceeding;
see Section 3.5.
Calibrate the printer as follows:
1. Ensure that the printer is ON and in an idle state (i.e., not off-line) with media loaded, the media sensor
adjusted, and the sensor type selected.
2. Press and hold the
F2
Button until one label has been output then release. Wait for the printer to process
the data. There are two possible outcomes:
Upon completion, one of the following lights will flash five times to denote the result of the auto
calibration attempt:
Power Light = Successful calibration.
Fault Light = Unsuccessful calibration, try again. If the calibration continues to fail, proceed to Section
3.7.3.
3.7.2 Empty Calibration
Empty Calibration calibrates the media sensor for the Out of Stock condition. Calibrate the printer as follows:
1. Ensure that the printer is ON and in an idle state with media removed.
2. Press and hold the
