6. The printer feeds about 160 mm long media to detect a black mark/gap and determine the threshold. When the
printer has detected more than one black marks/gaps during this 160-mm media feed, the printer measures
the media pitch and stops the automatic calibration 1 mm short of the bottom of a black mark or gap.
7. If the second black mark/gap is not found under the above conditions, the printer continues media feed for up
to 500.0 mm to find the second black mark/gap. If it still cannot be detected, the printer will stop, as a paper
jam.
8. This function supports the media pitch of 10.0 mm to 150.0 mm.
9. When the cutter is installed and a previous issue mode was cut mode, the media is cut and ejected after an
automatic calibration completes.
10. While the automatic calibration is in operation, labels do not stop at the strip position even in strip or special
strip mode.
11. When a label end occurs during an automatic calibration, the printer stops, resulting in an error. Closing the
print head after loading a new label can clear the error and resume the automatic calibration.
12. During an automatic calibration, the ribbon motors are rotated. Even if the ribbon is not loaded, no ribbon error
occurs
. However, the print condition will be automatically changed to “No ribbon” after the calibration ends.
13. When
“ON TRANS+BackFeed”, “ON REFL+BackFeed” or “ON ALL+BackFeed” is selected and if the
following conditions are satisfied, the printer feeds the media backward for the media pitch length while lifting
the print head.
Hardware
Optional ribbon saving module (solenoid) is installed.
Parameter setting
RIBBON SAVE parameter is set to TAG or LABEL.
Operating condition
Media pitch falls between 20mm and 100mm.
The previous issue mode was Batch without cut. (The issue mode and the cut
interval are not reset by a power off or a printer reset.)
Remarks
Even if the hardware requirement is not satisfied (i.e. the optional ribbon saving
module is not installed), the printer feeds the media backward when the other
requirements are satisfied. However, this operation is not guaranteed as it is
outside of the specification.
14. The feed speed during automatic calibration is the minimum speed at normal rotation.
B-EX6T1/T3-G/T, B-EX4T1-G/T: 3ips
15. The print head must not be opened during automatic calibration as the subsequent printer operation is not
guaranteed. If the print head is opened, turn off the power and back to on.
16. During an automatic calibration, the ribbon save is not performed even if setting is enabled.
