Calibrate Media The printer is factory calibrated and should not need further calibration. However
certain types of aftermarket paper/media will need to be calibrated. Depending on the
media type being used, this function senses the gaps between labels or the black
mark on the back of the media. Once the printer sense these locations, it can
accurately position the media for printing at the start of each label.
Once selected the printer will feed media, pause ~20 seconds and then complete the
calibration.
