2.9 Media Sensor 

Calibration, Self Print 
Test, and Dump Mode 
Utilities 

This utility is used to calibrate the sensitivity of the Feed Gap/Black 
Mark Sensor. 
It is necessary to set the media sensors after the media is changed to 
different type

 

1.

 First, select the sensor to calibrate in the following procedure. 

 

 

Turn on the printer power. 

                         

Open the Top Cover.

Calibration 

                       

When the Indicator Lamp is unlit, hold down 
the [FEED] Button for 5 sec. or more, and 
release when the lamp lights up in green. 

                       

 
The Indicator Lamp repeatedly lights up in 
different colours at approx. 1.5 sec. interval. 
When the lamp lights up in the colour 
representing the target sensor type, press the 
[FEED] Button.

2.

 

Turn off the printer, load the media properly, and close the Top Cover. 

Note

: Do not place pre-printed area above the media sensor, as doing 

so disables a correct sensor calibration.

To calibrate the Black Mark Sensor, align the sensor position with the 
black marks on the media. (Refer to 

Section 2.7

.) 

4.

calibration. 

Note

: If you failed to release the [FEED] button at the right timing, 

retry from Step 4.

 

6.

 

To start the Online operation, turn the printer off, then on again.
