2.6.6 Automatic Calibration
USER SYSTEM MODE

<7>AUTO CALIB
NOTE:
Since the head-up function is
not provided to the
LE840/LE850, the setting
and the printer behavior will
be automatically changed to
"ON TRANS","ON
REFLECT","ON ALL" even
if "+Bfeed" is selected for
these models.
The Auto Calibration menu allows you to select whether or not to enable
automatic calibration at power on time. When automatic calibration is
activated, the printer feeds the media for about 160 mm each time the
power is turned on or the print head is open then closed to detect the print
start position.

NOTES:
1. When AUTO CALIB is enabled, an automatic calibration is performed at
an open/close of the print head and at a power on time.
2. After the automatic calibration is performed, the media length, effective
print length, sensor type and whether the ribbon is used or not, obtained
through the calibration, will take effect until next calibration is
performed or the printer power is turned off. (Settings specified by
commands are ignored.)
3. This function is available only when the media pitch is 10.0 mm to 150.0
mm.
4. When the printer cannot detect the second black mark/gap, it will
continue to feed the media for up to 500.0mm. If a black mark/gap is
still not detected, the printer will stop, resulting in a paper jam.
5. During an automatic calibration, the printer also feeds the ribbon. Even
if the ribbon is not loaded, this will not result in an error. However, the
print condition will be automatically changed to "No ribbon" after the
calibration ends.
6. When the cutter is installed and a previous issue was performed in cut
issue mode, the media is cut and ejected after the automatic calibration
is completed.
7. When a label end occurs during an automatic calibration, the printer
stops, resulting in an error. Loading new media and closing the print
head can clear the error and resume the automatic calibration.
8. Since the optional ribbon saving module is not available for the
LE840/LE850, Setting + Bfeed will have no effect and the setting will
revert to without BFeed.
9. The feed speed during automatic calibration is 3 ips.
10. Do not open the print head during automatic calibration. The
subsequent printer operation is not guaranteed. If you open the print
head, turn off the power and back to on.
