Auto Media Calibration Procedure - Brady BP-1244 Operator's Manual

4.6.2 Auto Media Calibration Procedure

The 'Auto Media Calibration Procedure' allows the operator to
automatically obtain the optimum (TOF Low and TOF Delta) values for
a particular media. These values are useful for media (usually preprinted
media) that continues to suffer sensing problems after the Media Sensor
has been manually calibrated. This operation feeds 10 inches of media
using the current Media Sensor Calibration settings and calculates the
TOF Delta and TOF Low values to be used. Upon completion the printer
will exit back to 'Calibration Mode' flashing the PAUSED light if
successful, or the FAULT light if unsuccessful.
Note: Before calibrating, be sure the media sensor is set for the appropriate
media type, see Section 4.4.2; also, ensure that the printhead is latched
down and the cover is closed.
To perform the Auto Media Calibration complete the following steps:
1. Load the desired media.
2. Hold the
the button until the PAUSED light turns off then release.
3. Next press the
4. The PAUSED light will flash 5 times to indicate a successful
calibration. The FAULT light will flash three times to indicate an
unsuccessful calibration.
Note: If you wish to discard your changes and revert back to the
previous calibration simply turn off the printer before Step 5.
5. Now you can save your changes and resume
pressing the
