Auto Media Sensor Calibration - Datamax Mark II Operator's Manual

B.4.1 Auto Media Sensor Calibration
Auto Media Sensor Calibration automatically establishes the optimum sensing values for the media you are
using in the printer.

Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate media type; also, ensure that the
Printhead Carrier Assembly is latched down and the cover is closed.
To automatically calibrate the media sensor, proceed as follows:
1. With the desired media loaded, hold the
button until the Paused Light turns OFF then release it.
2. Next press the Button. The printer will feed approximately ten inches of media to calculate the TOF
F1
Delta and Low values to be used.
3. Upon completion, one of the following indicators will flash five times to denote the result of the auto
calibration attempt:
Paused Light = Successful calibration. Proceed to Step 4.
Fault Light = Unsuccessful calibration. Proceed to Section B.4.2.

To discard the changes and revert to the previous calibration, turn OFF the printer before Step 4.
4. Now save the changes and resume Normal Mode by pressing the
until the Paused Light goes OFF before printing.
