Calibration and Configuration

This section discusses calibration, printing configuration and
resetting the printer to factory defaults.

Performing Calibration and Configuration

1. Make sure the media is properly loaded and the top cover of
the printer is closed.
2. Turn off the printer power.
3. Press and hold the feed button while turning on the power,
until the printing motor is activated.
4. Media calibration is performed while the printer automatically
feeds the label stock for a certain length, the printing motor
suspends for one second and then prints out a configuration
profile. Release the feed button as soon as printer starts to
print.
5. The profile includes firmware version, ROM checksum,
RS-232, thermal transfer/direct thermal settings, hardware
configuration, and font types.
6. At PPLB emulation, the printer enters character dump mode.
To exit from dump mode, press the feed button again. (If you
accidentally print the label without exiting from dump mode in
advance, you need to turn on the printer or press feed button
again to print normally.)
Important! You must always carry out calibration when
changing media. Failure to do so will result in improper detection
by the label sensor.

Sensor Detection

Detection Area of the Reflective Sensor

The reflective Sensor is positioned at 7mm from the left edge of
media. The black mark minimum width (horizontal) should be
14mm on the left edge of media. The detection area, as illustrated
below.
The gap type label is same as black mark label.
