Scope This addendum contains information about the new Calibration features added to the Zebra A 300 and Zebra T 300 printers when upgraded with the 25.8.1 and 23.8.1 versions of firmware respectively. Calibration Auto-Calibration The printer only auto-calibrates when using non-continuous media (a gap, notch, or black mark separates each label).
Manual Calibration Manual calibration should be performed whenever you are using pre- printed labels or preprinted label backing, or if the printer will not auto calibrate. NOTE: Before performing a manual calibration, refer to your label preparation software user’s manual and set the printer for the media type (web or black mark).
