4.3.2 Gap/Black Mark Calibration, Self-test and Dump Mode

While calibrating the gap/black mark sensor, the printer will measure the label length, print the
internal configuration (self-test) on the label, then enter dump mode. Which of the two sensors is
calibrated (gap or black mark) depends on the sensor setting of the last print job.
Please follow the steps below to calibrate the sensor.
1. Switch printer off.
2. Hold button down while switching power on.
3. Release button when LED shows amber - blinking. (Any time during the 5 blinks).
This calibrates the sensor and measures the label length and prints internal settings then enters
dump mode.
