Status Light flash sequence for auto calibration Release the key after the specific number of flashes and before the next flash sequence starts to perform a task. The sequence starts at 1 flash and progresses upto 7 flashes. The green status LED will flash a number of times in sequence. With the printer power on and top cover closed, press and hold the Feed button for several seconds. If the printer initializes with the status light blinking green (pause mode), press the Feed button once to set the printer in Ready (to print) mode (light is solid green).ġ) Manual calibration via the Feed button located on the printer (see illustration below for feed button location) is recommended whenever the printer will not correctly auto calibrate/print onto a tag/label.

Then, turn the printer power on if you have not already done so. Insert the label stock, label/tag print side facing up. Zebra offers two ways to calibrate the printer to the stock inserted.įirst. If this does not adjust the printing properly then the printer must be manually calibrated.

If the label stops where it should then perform a test print and that is ok you are good to go. Once the light is solid green - Press feed button, wait till stock paper stops moving and press Feed button again. By default the printer attempts to auto calibrate to the label stock installed with the printer is turned on and while status light is becmes solid green. When switching stock in the printer insure the printer is turned off.
