Media and Ribbon Sensor Calibration
Performing the manual calibration procedure resets the sensitivity of the sensors to
detect the media and ribbon you are using more accurately. With the sensors at their
new sensitivity, the printer then performs the manual calibration. Changing the type of
ribbon and/or media may require resetting the sensitivity of the media and ribbon
sensors.
SENSOR PROFILE Press SELECT to make change.
Sensor Profile: Press PLUS (+) to print a media sensor

The media sensor profile may be used to troubleshoot
registration problems that may be caused when the media
sensor detects preprinted areas on the media or experiences
difficulty in determining web location. If the sensitivity of
the media and/or ribbon sensors MUST be adjusted, use the
manual calibration procedure.
MEDIA AND RIBBON Press SELECT to display MEDIA AND RIBBON
CALIBRATE.
