6. Press until “CALIBRATE CTRL” displays.

.
8. Follow the instructions displayed on the LCD. Example: “REMOVE
RBN&MEDIA/Press Enter” indicates that you must open the pivoting deck
and remove the ribbon and media from under the printhead, close and
lock the pivoting deck, and press the
↵
key.
9. During the last step of Manual Calibrate, the printer will advance the
media and attempt to detect the label length indicators and stop at the
Top-of-Form position. The Sensed Distance value will then display for
one second. The calibrate is successful when the Sensed Distance value
correctly matches that of the installed media. If “CALIBRATION FAIL/See
Manual” displays, run Manual Calibrate again.
NOTE: The amount of media sampled during Manual Calibrate is based on
the length of a label and the transitions detected without error,
between a label and its label length indicators.
10. Press the PAUSE key until “OFFLINE” displays.
11. Press the FEED key several times. Each time you press FEED, the media
advances one label length and stops.
NOTE: After a form feed, the position of the leading edge of the next label
depends on the
type of Media Handling mode selected under the
QUICK SETUP menu. Tear-Off and Tear-Off Strip Media Handling
positions the label edge at the tear bar, while Continuous positions
the label edge under the printhead.
12. Once the correct values are confirmed, save them to the desired
configuration menu before powering off the printer. See “Saving A
Configuration” on page 90.
Cleaning
Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate residues (media
dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of normal printing. To maintain top
printing quality, you should remove these residues by cleaning the printer
periodically.
Exterior
Clean the exterior surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth. If necessary, use a
mild detergent or desktop cleaning solution.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Interior
Clean the interior of the printer by removing any dirt and lint with a soft-
bristled, non-metallic brush. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the residue.
