Note: This adjustment is initially set by Zebra Technologies
Corporation during final printer calibration. Under normal
circumstances, further adjustments should not be necessary. The
exception to this might be the use of media with extremely thick
or thin backing, which could require re-adjustment of the sensor
sensitivity.
This adjustment may need to be performed if the paper/ribbon light comes
ON with (1) the media and ribbon properly installed for thermal transfer
mode or (2) media only properly installed for the direct thermal mode.
The following procedure is used to perform the media and ribbon sensor
and sensitivity range adjustment:
1. Turn the printer OFF.
2. Open the printhead.
3. Remove as many labels as needed to create at least 12" of blank
backing material. Load the blank backing material under the
printhead.
Note: Be sure that blank backing material is positioned between the
upper and lower media sensors.
4. Remove the ribbon. (Sliding it as far from the printer wall as possible
has the same effect as removing it.)
5. Close the printhead.
6. Hold down the PAUSE, FEED, and CANCEL keys while turning the
printer ON. Once the printer is ON, release the keys.
7. The following two sets of lights begin flickering, signifying that the
adjustment has been made:
• The PRINTHEAD and PAPER/RIBBON lights
• The DARKEN and POSITION lights
Note: If only one pair of lights is flickering, it indicates that the
adjustment was not successful. Go back to step 1 and start over.
