Calibrating the Printer This chapter of the user’s guide is so important that we’ve 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.
Types of Media Non-Continuous Web Media Non-continuous web media (refer to Figure 2) refers to individual labels that are separated by a gap, notch, or hole.
Non-Continuous Black Mark Media Non-continuous black mark media has black marks printed on the back that indicate the start and end of each label (refer to Figure 3). Continuous Media Continuous media (refer to Figure 4) is one uninterrupted roll of material that allows the image to be printed anywhere on the label.
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.

Positioning the Media Sensors The correct positioning of the media sensors is important. It can make the difference between a perfect label and a call to Technical Support! Transmissive Sensor The web or gap sensor, better known as the “transmissive sensor,” detects the gap between labels.
Adjusting the Upper Media Sensor Refer to Figure 6. (For clarity, not all printer parts are shown.) 1. Remove the ribbon (if it is installed). 2. Locate the upper media sensor. The upper media sensor “eye” is directly below the adjustment screw head.

Configuring the Software or Printer Driver Many printer settings may also be controlled by your printer’s driver or label preparation software. Refer to the driver or software documentation for more information. 16 Zebra Xi III-Series User’s Guide Press Display Shows Action/Explanation - PRINTER READY Normal printer operation.
Media and Ribbon Calibration NOTE: All steps must be performed in the following procedure, even if only one sensor needs to be adjusted. 1. Press the SETUP/EXIT key. 2. Press the NEXT/SAVE key until “MEDIA AND RIBBON CALIBRATE” displays. 3. To start the calibration procedure, press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key.
5. Press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key. The front panel display will show “REMOVE RIBBON CANCEL CONTINUE.” 6. Either remove the ribbon or slide it as far from the printer frame as possible. 7. Close the printhead, trapping the ribbon in this position. 8.

Establishing Communication System Considerations Interfaces The method of interfacing this printer to a data source depends on the communication options installed in the printer. The standard interfaces are an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial data port and a bi-directional parallel port.
Whe n communicatin g vi a th e parallel por t (refe r t o Figur e 14) , the previousl y mentione d parameter s are no t considered . Refe r t o pag e 5 3 to configur e th e communication parameter s fo r th e printer . The value s selecte d mus t b e th e sam e as thos e use d b y th e hos t equipment connecte d t o th e printer.
Printer Basics Operator Controls This section discusses the functions of the various controls and indicators on the printer. The operator should become familiar with each of these functions. POWER Switch This switch is located at the back of the printer above the power cord and fuse.
Front Panel Display The front panel display communicates operational status and programming modes and parameters. 24 Zebra Xi III-Series User’s Guide Figure 15.

Front Panel Lights NOTE: If two operating conditions occur simultaneously (for example, one that causes a light to be on constantly and one that causes the same light to flash), the light will flash. Light Status Indication POWER Off The printer is off or power is not applied.
Roll Media Loading NOTE: A calibration must be performed when media and ribbon (if used) are first installed in the printer, or when a different type of media or ribbon is being used. Tear-Off Mode Refer to Figure 16. 1. Open the printhead. 2. Slide the media guide and media supply guide as far from the printer frame as possible.

Removing the Label Backing Material Since the rewind spindle holds the backing from a standard-size media roll, we recommend that you perform this procedure whenever you change the media. To remove the backing material from the rewind spindle, follow these steps (you don’t need to turn off the printer for this procedure).

When the printer is connected via its RS-232 interface to Data Communication Equipment (DCE) such as a modem, use a standard RS-232 (straight-through) interface cable.
RS-422/RS-485 Interconnections The printer may be connected to a host by either an RS-422 or an RS-485 interface. The DB-25 connector on the rear of the printer uses specific pins for this purpose. Figure 42 illustrates the required cable wiring for interconnecting to the printer’s DB-25 connector.
Parallel Data Port A standard 36-pin parallel connector is available at the rear of the printer for connection to the data source. Under normal circumstances, data sent from the printer to the host in response to a “Printer Status Request” command is sent through the RS-232 serial port.
