The sensitivity of this mode
is adjustable with the
CALIBRATE
mode.
CALIBRATE Runs an index calibration,
and then replaces the index
data currently stored for
mode 3 with the new data.
The C Series printer uses
only this parameter, not any
of the other parameters.
NOTE: Confirm that the
correct print media is loaded
before starting the calibration.
Comments When using the VARIABLE INDEX SETTING modes
0, 1, or 2, send the command to the printer with
VARIABLE WRITE
in a non-printing label format.
The use of VARIABLE WRITE is optional when using
the VARIABLE INDEX SETTING CALIBRATE
command. VARIABLE INDEX SETTING CALIBRATE
always writes its data to nonvolatile RAM, with or
without the use of VARIABLE WRITE.
Do not use this command in stored label formats.
The CALIBRATE mode runs an automatic calibration
routine that measures the opacity of the currently
loaded ribbon, labels, and backing, then uses these
values to set the index detector sensitivity. This
takes about 15 seconds in most printers. The
printer's READY light flashes during calibration.
The ready light will glow green if the calibration is
successful and red if the calibration is unsuccessful.
Following a successful calibration, the printer
automatically writes the new index calibration to
nonvolatile RAM.
