ZD500R: Calibrate from Printer's Interface
ATTENTION: We suggest first performing the calibration from the website. If the calibration fails, then follow these steps.
Step 1: Media Calibration
Hold the PAUSE + CANCEL buttons for 2 seconds to start the media calibration.
Step 2: RFID Calibration
Press the menus ‘Home’ (
) button. Navigate to the ‘RFID’ (
) menu button and press the ‘Select’ ( — ) button.
Use the Left and Right navigation arrows to browse to the RFID CALIBRATE procedure. Press the select button ( — ) below the START on the lower right hand of the display.
The printer will slowly feed a label while adjusting the location and RFID read/write communication settings for your chosen RFID tag/label.
The printer will feed an additional label in some cases when calibration has completed successfully with the display message reading: READY
At this point, you can open the printer and roll the excess labels back inside. Then, close the printer, unpause it, and you will be ready to print.
