calibration (of a printer)

A process in which the printer determines some basic information needed to print accurately with a particular media and ribbon combination. To do this, the printer feeds some media and ribbon (if used) and senses whether to use the direct thermal or thermal transfer print method, along with (if using non-continuous media) the length of individual labels or tags.
