Calibrate from the web portal
You can calibrate your printer from the web portal. This can be done from three places:
Option 1: From the Menu Bar
- Access the Available Printers icon at the top-right of the page.
Locate the desired print station and click the Calibrate icon to the right.
Finally, click Calibrate to start the calibration process.
- Accepting this prompt will then send both the media and ribbon and RFID calibrations to the printer, which will proceed automatically with the following steps:
- Media and Ribbon.
- Then a pause for roughly 10 seconds.
- And then the RF calibration, which will take longer; the labels will periodically inch out of the printer for approximately one minute. At the end of the process it will feed out 2 or 3 labels before stopping completely.
- After the calibration has completed:
- Open the printer and roll back the labels so the blank tags may be used—precision is not necessary
- Un-pause the printer
- Now you are ready to print.
If the printer continues to VOID labels, repeat the process. If the issue persists, perform a calibration directly from the printer itself.
Option 2: From the printer's Printer Profile page
The printer profile page contains details for each connected printer. Users can navigate to this page from the Available Printers pop-out menu, or the Station Settings
