INIT FLASH
Action/Explanation
Initialize Flash
CAUTION: Perform this operation only when it is necessary to erase all
previously stored information from the FLASH memory. Press the NEXT/
SAVE key to bypass this function.
1.
Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to select “YES.”
If your print engine is set to require a password, you will now be prompted
to enter the password. enter the password and then press the NEXT/SAVE
key.
2.
The display will ask “INITIALIZE FLASH?”. Press the RIGHT BLACK
OVAL key to select “YES.”
3.
The control panel LCD will ask “ARE YOU SURE?”.
4.
Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to select “YES.”
or
Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to select “NO” cancel the request and
return to the “INITIALIZE FLASH” prompt.
5.
Press the SETUP/EXIT key followed by the NEXT/SAVE key. If initialization is still in process, the control panel display will flash back and forth
between the two phrases “CHECKING E: MEMORY” and “PRINTER
IDLE.”
When initialization is complete, the print engine will automatically exit the
configuration mode and the control panel will display “PRINTER
READY.”
NOTE: Depending on the amount of free FLASH memory, initialization
may take up to one minute to complete.
Media and Ribbon Sensor Calibration
Before you begin this procedure, make sure that the maximum length is set to a value equal to or greater than the length of
the labels you are using. If the maximum length is set to a lower value, the calibration process will assume that continuous
media is in the print engine. See “MAXIMUM LENGTH” on page 25 for more information.
1.
Standard Calibration. Pressing the CALIBRATE key on the print engine’s control panel causes the print engine to
feed media and ribbon and set the values it detects for media, media backing material (the spaces between labels),
media out, and ribbon or no ribbon (which determines the print mode - thermal transfer or direct thermal). This type of
calibration also occurs as part of the sensor profile and media and ribbon calibration procedures.
2.
Media and Ribbon Sensor Sensitivity Calibration. Performing the media and ribbon calibration procedure first
resets the sensitivity of the sensors to better detect the media and ribbon you are using. With the sensors at their new
sensitivity, the print engine then performs the standard calibration described above. Changing the type of ribbon and/
or media may require resetting the sensitivity of the media and ribbon sensors. Indications that the sensitivity may
need to be reset would be a CHECK RIBBON light on with the ribbon properly installed or non-continuous media
being treated as continuous media.
