8.5.10 CALIBRATE
・ OFF:
・ ON TRANSMISSIVE:
・ ON REFLECTIVE
・ ON ALL:
・ ON TRANS+BackFeed: Auto calibration is performed with transmissive sensor, then the media is fed
・ ON REFL+BackFeed:
・ ON ALL+BackFeed:
Notes:
1. When this parameter is enabled, an automatic calibration starts at an open/close of the print head and when
power is on.
2. When this parameter is enabled, the media length, effective print length, sensor type and whether the ribbon is
used or not, will be specified with commands, as handled as follows.
Whether the ribbon is
used or not
Sensor type
Media
Media pitch
Effective
length
Gap length
3. When the auto calibration with reflective sensor is selected, the lowest voltage detected by the reflective sensor
is considered as a black mark level. And, the sum of this voltage and the threshold fine adjustment value will
be stored as a threshold.
4. When the auto calibration with transmissive sensor is selected, the highest voltage detected by the
transmissive sensor is considered as a gap level. After subtracting the threshold fine adjustment value from
this voltage, the result will be stored as a threshold.
5. When "ON ALL" is selected, the highest voltage detected by transmissive sensor or the lowest voltage detected
by the refrective sensor is considered as a gap level. After subtracting the threshold fine adjustment value for
each sensor from this voltage, the result will be stored as a threshold.

Auto calibration is performed with both sensors, then the media is fed backward.
Printer behavior after automatic calibration is performed
The values obtained through the calibration will take effect until next calibration is
performed or the printer power is turned off. (Settings specified by commands are
ignored.)
The values obtained through the calibration will take effect after the calibration is
completed. Afterward, the sensor specified by a command is ignored.
