Zebra ZT610 Printer Calibration Tutorial
Summary
TLDRThis tutorial video provides a straightforward guide on calibrating a Zebra zt610 printer to ensure proper label printing. It addresses common issues like media out errors and irregular label printing by demonstrating a quick calibration method. The process involves accessing the calibration menu, removing label backing for the printer to recognize, and then reloading the media correctly. The video concludes with a test to confirm successful calibration, offering a practical solution for maintaining printer accuracy.
Takeaways
- 📏 Calibrating a Zebra zt610 printer is essential for teaching the printer the length of the label and where to start and stop printing.
- 🚫 A media out error can be resolved by calibrating the printer, even if the media is already loaded.
- 🔄 If labels are skipping or behaving irregularly, it's a good time to calibrate the printer to ensure proper printing.
- 🔘 Pressing the cancel and pause button simultaneously brings up the calibration menu on the printer.
- 📝 The calibration process includes a step-by-step diagram, but a simpler method is demonstrated in the script.
- 🔦 When the pause light is flashing, remove the backing from the labels to teach the printer what it looks like with just the backing.
- 👁️ Ensure the sensor under the printhead detects only the backing, not the labels or ribbon.
- 🎭 Move the ribbon out of the way, like sliding a curtain, to one side before closing the printhead.
- ♻️ After setting the backing under the sensor, close the printhead and press pause to begin the calibration process.
- 🔄 Reload the printer with the ribbon and labels, ensuring the labels are properly aligned for the printer to find the gap between them.
- ⏱️ The printer will take a minute to measure and calibrate, adjusting to the presence of the ribbon and the correct label positioning.
- 📄 To test if the calibration was successful, press the feed button once; if one label comes out and stops correctly, the calibration is complete.
Q & A
What does the term 'calibrating a Zebra zt610 printer' refer to?
-Calibrating a Zebra zt610 printer means teaching the printer how long the label is and where to start and stop printing.
Why might you need to calibrate your Zebra zt610 printer?
-You might need to calibrate your printer if you experience a media out error even with loaded media, or if labels are skipping or behaving irregularly.
How can you access the calibration menu on a Zebra zt610 printer?
-You can access the calibration menu by pressing the cancel and pause button simultaneously on the printer.
What is the first step in the simplified calibration process described in the script?
-The first step is to remove the backing from the labels by opening the printhead, pulling out some labels, and peeling off a couple.
Why is it important to feed the labels with the backing removed under the sensor?
-It is important to feed the labels under the sensor to teach the printer what it looks like with just the backing, ensuring the sensor sees only the backing.
What should you do with the ribbon during the calibration process?
-You should move the ribbon out of the way, similar to sliding a curtain off to the right, without completely removing it from the printer.
What action should be taken after closing the printhead during calibration?
-After closing the printhead, press the pause button to begin the calibration process, during which the printer will recognize the state with no ribbon and only the backing.
How do you proceed after the initial calibration step?
-After the initial calibration, you should reload the printer with the ribbon back on and pull the labels out until actual labels are exposed, then close the printhead.
What does pressing the pause button again after reloading do?
-Pressing the pause button again starts the actual calibration process, where the printer measures the gap between the labels and ensures the ribbon is loaded properly.
How can you test if the calibration was successful?
-To test if the calibration was successful, press the feed button once. If one label comes out and stops where it should, the calibration was done correctly.
Who produced the video script provided?
-The video script is from an EMP Technical Group video.

Highlights
Calibrating a Zebra zt610 printer involves teaching it the length of the label and where to start and stop printing.
Media out errors can be resolved by calibrating the printer, even if the media is loaded.
Irregular label printing, such as skipping, is an indication that the printer needs calibration.
The quickest method to access the calibration menu is by pressing the cancel and pause button simultaneously.
A diagram in the calibration menu guides users through the process step by step.
A simpler calibration method involves removing the backing from labels and feeding them under the sensor.
The sensor must detect only the backing without the ribbon for accurate calibration.
The ribbon should be moved aside like a curtain during the calibration process.
After adjusting the ribbon and labels, close the printhead to proceed with calibration.
Pressing pause initiates the calibration process, which measures the label and ribbon setup.
The printer calibrates by identifying the gap between labels and ensuring the ribbon is loaded correctly.
The calibration process takes a minute as the printer measures the label and ribbon setup.
Once calibration is complete, the printer is ready to print accurately.
To test if the calibration was successful, press the feed button once to see if a label feeds correctly.

discussing calibrating a Zebra zt610
printer
calibration really just means teaching
your printer how long your label is and
where to start and stop it's pretty easy
to do but if you've ever gone to your
printer and notice that there is a media
out error even though it's already
loaded
there's a way to fix that and that's by
calibrating your printer also if you
notice any labels that are skipping or
doing anything irregular that's a good
time to calibrate your printer as well
and this is how to do it the quickest
way is to press the cancel and pause
button simultaneously
and that will bring up the calibration
menu
there is a diagram here that will tell
you and you can walk step by step
through it however I'm going to show you
a little simpler way
so once you've done it and you see the
pause light flashing
we want to remove the backing from our
labels
and what that means is you want to open
the printhead
bring out some of the labels
and peel off a couple
we're going to teach the printer what it
looks like with just the backing
once you get two or three peeled off
you're going to feed it back inside the
printer
[Applause]
and the important thing is to get that
under the sensor which is right here
so we want to make sure the sensor sees
just the backing once you have that done
we want to get the ribbon out of the way
you don't have to take it all the way
off but you can just slide it like a
curtain off to the right
so once that's done you can close the
printhead
and now we're going to press pause and
it's going to begin to calibrate
and what it's doing right now is seeing
what it looks like with no ribbon and
with only the backing
and that's done the next step is just to
reload everything like normal
so ribbon back on and then pull your
labels out until you have actual labels
and close the printhead
so once it's reloaded you press the
pause button again
so it's actually calibrating now to find
that Gap in between the label and to
show that the ribbon is loaded properly
it takes a minute as it's kind of
measuring
but eventually it will stop
and you're all set
so unpause
and a good way to test if you're
calibrated is to hit the feed button one
time
if one label comes out and stops where
it should you've done it correctly
