Calibration ensures correct media detection.

3.7.1 Quick Calibration


The Quick Calibration can be performed using the DMXConfig Utility (see Section 3.5) or by holding down the

multi-function button, (see section 3.3) . Once you have installed the DMXConfig utility and the printer is

properly loaded with media, proceed with calibration as follows:

This calibration is not necessary when using continuous stock.

Media containing large gaps may require a change in the Paper Out Distance before proceeding.

1) Connect the host to the printer with a serial,

parallel, or (USB cable if driver is installed).

2) Turn ON the printer and launch the

DMXConfig utility.


3) Click on the port or the printer you wish to

connect to from the list.


4) Query the printer by using the Query Printer

toolbar button (top-left) or the large ‘Query’
button in the green box. This will connect to
the printer and get the current printer
settings.





5) Select the Sensor Calibration Tab and then

click the Quick Media Calibration button.
When prompted click OK to start the Quick
Calibration.


6) Wait for the printer to process the data. There

are two possible outcomes:

Green Light = Successful calibration

Red Light = Unsuccessful calibration, try
again. If the calibration continues to fail,
proceed to Section 3.7.2.
