5-4 Media Calibration
This printer has been designed to recognize the gaps with most print papers, but sometimes it may not recognize the gap and keep feeding paper if a special type of paper is used. In this case, run Auto Calibration function so that the printer can recognize the gap. BIXOLON printer provides various media calibration methods in order to accommodate various special paper types.
5-4-1 About media calibration
• This function is for adjusting the sensitivity of the paper detection sensor for accurate printing position control and measuring actual length of paper.
• Sensor sensitivity adjustment
- The purpose is to detect the identifier(gap/black mark/groove) of installed label
• Paper length measurement
- Accurate length is required to rotate the printing orientation.
- The purpose is to detect the change of paper type.
5-4-2 When is media calibration required?
• When the printer is installed first time
• When the newly installed paper is a different paper type
• When printer position is not accurate or printer does not stop in the right position
5-4-3 How to perform media calibration
• The following four methods of media calibration can be used depending on the conditions.
- Smart Media Detection
- Gap Sensor Auto Calibration Mode
- Black Mark Sensor Auto Calibration Mode
- Manual Calibration Mode
• Why are several calibration methods provided?
- Multiple labels should be scanned for media calibration and more accurate sensitivity calibration can be performed when more labels are scanned.
- The number of labels to scan for sensor sensitivity adjustment depends on various conditions such as label paper material, color, surface status, thickness, gap length, pre-printed pattern, etc.
- Four different media calibration modes are provided for compromise between prevention of excessive use of paper and accuracy of sensor sensitivity adjustment.
- Smart media detection mode that allows for adjustment of sensitivity with minimum amount of scanning should be good enough for most cases with general labels.
- Try various methods in order of Smart Media Detection Gap Sensor Automatic Calibration / Black Mark Sensor Automatic Calibration Manual Calibration Mode.

Rev. 1.00

SLP-DL410x/DL413x
5-5 Smart Media Detection
• Printer executes this function when necessary without user input and media configuration can be completed with Smart Media Detection function for most print papers.
• Papers with gap or black mark can be identified without separate settings.
• 3 ~ 5 pages of labels will be used depending on the type of paper.
• Smart Media Detection function is executed in the followings cases
- When the printer is installed first time, it is executed through Feed button or print command.
- When paper length change is detected during feeding or printing.
- When the paper type entered by command is different from the configured paper type.
- After reset with factory settings
• Smart Media Detection function will be turned off after setting the sensor sensitivity using Automatic Calibration Mode or Manual Media Calibration mode, and it will be enabled again after resetting the printer with factory settings.
5-6 Gap Sensor Auto Calibration Mode
Use this mode when paper is not detected correctly with Smart Media Detection function. Printer feeds paper and calibrates Gap Sensor automatically. The printer will enter error mode if paper detection fails after feeding up to 2 meter of paper.
Error mode can be released by opening and closing the cover. Use Manual Calibration Mode if paper detection fails in this mode. Smart Media Detection will be disabled if paper detection is successful in this mode. 5-6-1 Procedure to run the calibration
Press the Feed button at 4th LED sequence as shown in section 5-2-2(LED 1 is Orange and LED 2 is blinking Green four times) to start Gap Sensor Automatic Calibration Mode.

SLP-DL410x/DL413x
5-7 Black Mark Sensor Auto Calibration Mode
Use this mode when paper is not detected correctly with Smart Media Detection function. Printer feeds paper and calibrates Black Mark Sensor automatically. The printer will enter error mode if paper detection fails after feeding up to 2 meter of paper.
Error mode can be released by opening and closing the cover. Use Manual Calibration Mode if paper detection fails in this mode. Smart Media Detection will be disabled if paper detection is successful in this mode.
5-7-1 Procedure to run calibration
Press the Feed button at 5th LED sequence as shown in section 5-2-2(LED 1 is Orange and LED 2 is blinking Orange four times) to start Black Mark Sensor Automatic Calibration Mode.

SLP-DL410x/DL413x
5-8 Manual Calibration Mode
Manual-calibration of media detection can be used when the printer cannot detect a media gap(or black mark) even after auto-calibration has been executed.
Users can calibrate sensor parameters in detail by using the utility program provided by the manufacturer. (www.bixolon.com)
The utility can be obtained from the enclosed CD. Please make sure the printer is connected and execute the utility program.
Click on the Calibration Setting Manager Button after setting the interface type.
1) Select the sensing type and input the label length by millimeter and click on “Check Sensing Value” button. Then printer starts to calibrate.
2) Printer will print the scanned values after calibration and the values will appear on the
Screen.
3) Optimal sensing values will appear in bold letters on the left of the utility screen.
Select one of the optimal sensing value by clicking on it's option button and then click on "Save Calibration."
4) If chosen value does not work properly, please try the other values among the bold
letters.
5) To go back to the initial value, please click on “Cancel Calibration”
