4. When the auto calibration with the 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 the 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.
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 feeding, 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 feeding
for up to 500.0 mm to find the second black mark/gap. If it still cannot be detected, the printer will stop,
resulting in a media jam.
8. This function supports only when the media pitch is 10.0 mm to 150.0 mm.
9. When the cutter is installed and a previous issue mode was the cut issue mode, the media is cut and
ejected after the automatic calibration completes.
10. While the automatic calibration is in operation, labels do not stop at the strip position even in the strip or
special strip mode.
11. When a label end occurs during the 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 the automatic calibration, the ribbon motors are rotated. Even if the ribbon is not loaded, no ribbon
error occurs. However, the print condition will automatically be changed to "No ribbon" after the calibration
ends.
13. When "+ Bfeed" 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.

14. The feed speed during the automatic calibration is the lowest print speed for each model at normal
rotation.

15. The print head must not be opened during the 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 the automatic calibration, the ribbon saving is not performed even if the setting is enabled.
Optional ribbon saving module (solenoid) is installed.
The RBN SAVE parameter is set to TAG or LABEL
The media pitch falls between 20 mm and 100 mm.
This is available if 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.)
Even if the hardware requirement is not satisfied (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 specifications.
