i7100 Sensor Calibration UtilityThe i7100 may require sensor calibration after updating to firmware version 5.14 or higher. This should not be required if updating from a firmware version later than 5.14. This sensor calibration can also be performed if the printer has difficulty maintaining calibration despite having configured proper calibration settings: i7100 Sensor Position for Gapped, Sleeve, Notched, and Multiple Column Gapped Material.
This process re-exposes the sensors to the light and dark conditions of a passing label. These instructions must be followed exactly or sensor values will be out of range. For Brady labels, sensor values should fall within this range: Lowest (1-10) - Mid (10-20) / Mid (10-20) - Highest (120-160).
