5.1.2 Standard Calibration
Perform the Standard Calibration when ‘Cannot Calibrate’ or ‘Uncalibrated’ is displayed. During the
process, the printhead assembly can be raised for visual access. In addition, displayed sensor readings can
be used to indicate the best position over the media, which is helpful when using small, position-critical
TOF notches or marks. Three readings are required:
• Empty: No media in the sensor.
• TOF Mark: Only the backing, notch, or reflective mark in the sensor.
• Paper: The label (with the liner attached) in the sensor.
Follow the steps below to perform a Standard Calibration:
