Calibrating the Printer This chapter of the users guide is so important that weve printed it on a different color paper! That way, it will be easy for you to find when you must calibrate (set up) the printer for your particular application. Purpose n To calibrate the printer. n To verify that the printer is properly set up by printing a test label. NOTE: This procedure must be performed when the printer is first installed or when it cannot properly detect the top of the label. To calibrate the

Choosing the Print Mode n Tear-off mode allows you to tear off each label, or a strip of labels, after it is printed. n In Peel-off mode, backing material is peeled away from the label as it is printed. After this label is removed from the printer, the next one is printed. n When in cutter mode, the printer automatically cuts the label after it is printed. n In rewind mode, the media and backing are rewound onto a core as the labels are printed. 8 Brady X-PLUS Series Users Guide

Transmissive Sensor The web or gap sensor, better known as the transmissive sensor, detects the gap between labels. The transmissive sensor actually consists of two sections: a light source (the lower media sensor) and a light sensor (the upper media sensor). The media passes between the two. The upper media sensor must be
