Calibration Procedure
• The GX420 and GX430 are equipped with a standard
auto-calibration feature that can be set to initiate
automatically during start-up of the printer - utilizing two
to four labels to calibrate for efficient operation and less
waste. The printer will also save the new settings in
memory until the next calibration is performed.
• A manual calibration procedure can also be performed,
if required. Consult your User’s Guide for more details
on the specific manual calibration steps.
