Running a SmartCal Media Calibration

When you load media, the printer needs information about the media before it can print for optimal operation. Your printer automatically determines the type of media (web/gap, black mark/notch, or continuous) and measures media characteristics. However,  if the media type you are loading is different from the previous media you loaded in terms of type, size, or batch, you must calibrate the new media using this procedure.
After you complete initial calibration to a specific media, you do NOT have to perform additional calibrations each time the media is replaced, provided the media is the same type and batch. The printer automatically measures the media to adjust for small changes in the media characteristics while printing.
  1. Make sure the media is loaded properly and the top cover of the printer is closed.
  2. Press
    POWER
    ( ) to apply power to the printer.
  3. After the printer is in the ready state, meaning the Status indicator ( ) is lit solid Green), press and hold
    PAUSE
    ( ) and
    CANCEL
    ( ) simultaneously for two seconds and release.
    At the end of the SmartCal operation, the printer measures a few labels and adjusts media sensing levels. When the printer stops, the Status indicator ( ) turns solid Green.
To synchronize the labels after you load a new roll of media (same size, type, and batch) and continue printing, press
FEED
( ) once or twice.
