Step-By-Step Instructions To Manually Calibrate The Zebra ZT111

To manually calibrate a Zebra ZT111 printer, follow these troubleshooting and reset steps:

Manual Calibration Steps

1. On the printer’s control panel, press and hold the PAUSE and CANCEL buttons simultaneously for ~2 seconds.
• The Status and Pause lights will flash yellow once; then the Pause light will blink yellow.
2. Release the print-head assembly (flip the print-head lever up so the head pivots upward).
3. ull out about 150 mm (6 in) of media so it’s extended outside, then remove the exposed labels so only the liner/backing remains.
4. Pull the media (liner/backing) into the printer so that only the backing (no label) is between the media sensors.
5. If using a ribbon (thermal transfer mode), move the ribbon to the right (away from the sensors).
6. Close the print-head assembly.
7. Press the PAUSE button to start the calibration cycle.
• The Pause light will turn off. The Supplies light will flash yellow while the printer performs calibration.
• Wait until the Supplies light turns off and the Pause light turns yellow.
8. After the first part, release the printhead again (lever up).
9. Reload the ribbon (if used): move the ribbon back to left, straighten it and turn the ribbon take-up spindle to remove any slack.
10. Pull the media forward until a label is positioned between the sensors (so that the sensor sees a label, not just backing).
11. Close the print-head assembly again.
12. Press PAUSE again to complete the calibration. The Supplies light will flash yellow; when it turns off and Pause light becomes yellow, calibration is done.
13. Press PAUSE again to exit pause mode and enable printing.
14. Finally, press the FEED button to verify that a label feeds correctly (one label advances to the correct position).
