  2.6.2.1  Printer Set 
(1) MEDIA LOAD 
  Determines how the use of the [FEED] key enables the printer 
to detect the home position. This parameter is effective only 
when the sensor type is set to other than “None”.  
 
• OFF   Media loading function is disabled (Same as a 
feed by [FEED] key) 
•  STD   When the [FEED] key is pressed after the 
printer is tuned on, reset in batch mode, or the 
print head is closed, the printer detects the 
next gap/black mark and feeds the paper from 
the sensor to the print start position. 
•  ECO   When the [FEED] key is pressed after the 
printer is tuned on, reset in batch mode, or the 
print head is closed, the printer detects the 
next gap/black mark and feeds the paper to the 
print start position based on the last label pitch 
printed. 
•  ECO+Bfeed  Since optional ribbon saving module is not 
available to the B-EX4T2, MEDIA LOAD 
setting and the printer behavior will be 
automatically changed to “ECO” setting even if 
“ECO+Bfeed” is selected for these models.  
 
 
(2) FORWARD WAIT 
  This parameter allows you to choose whether or not to activate 
the auto forward wait function.  This function, used in the cut 
mode, automatically feeds the media forward if there is more 
than a 1-second idle time after printing. This prevents the top 
edge of the media from curling.   
 
• OFF Disables the auto forward feed wait 
•  ON  Enables the auto forward feed wait → c 
 
c When ON is selected, the feed amount can be fine adjusted.

NOTE: 
1.  If the pitch of the media used 
for the previous issue was less 
than 20mm, the forward wait 
will not be activated regardless 
of the parameter setting. 
2.  The media will stay at the 
forwarded position even if the 
power is turned off/on, the 
printer is reset, the print head 
is opened/closed.  
NOTE: 
Underlined setting is the factory 
default.

(4) FW/BK ACT. 
 
• MODE1
  The printer waits for next issue after 13.7-mm 
media has been fed forward. 
• MODE2  When thermal transfer and cut mode are 
selected, the printer feeds 6-mm media 
backward, then waits for next issue after 3-mm 
media has been fed forward.  From this position, 
the printer starts the on-the-fly printing for next 
issue. The 3-mm distance to the home position 
is fed at 3 ips. 
 
 
 
 
 
(5) PRE PEEL OFF 
 Select whether to activate the pre-strip function.  When this 
parameter is set to ON, the top edge of a label is separated 
(pre-stripped) from the backing paper before the label is printed.  
This function is intended to make the strip issue easier in the 
case of labels that are hard to strip due to the label density, 
strength of the adhesive used, or the print speed. 
 
• OFF
  Disables pre peel off 
•  ON  Enables pre peel off 
 
 
(6) BACK SPEED 
Select back feed speed. 
In strip issue a back feed speed of 3 ips may cause the correct 
distance not to be fed due to a lack of torque, slippery media 
surface, etc.  In such cases reduce the back feed speed to 2 ips 
to ensure the correct feed amount. 
 
• STD
 3ips 
• LOW  2ips 
 
(7) TYPE OF RIBBON  
Select type of ribbon. 
When a coating side of the ribbon is the outside, chooses CSO. 
     When a coating side of the ribbon is the inside, chooses CSI. 
 
• CSO
  Coated side out 
• CSI  Coated side in  
NOTE: 
Pre-strip function is automatically 
enabled when the print speed is 
set to 10 ips or faster. However, 
the print speed is corrected 
depending on the EX I/O 
parameter setting, as follows.  
EX I/O: TYPE 1 
  10 ips (203 dpi) 
  8 ips (305 dpi) 
EX I/O: TYPE 2  
 Specified speed

2.6.6 Automatic Calibration 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Auto Calibration menu allows you to select whether or not to 
enable automatic calibration at power on time.  When automatic 
calibration is activated, the printer feeds the media for about 160 
mm each time the power is turned on or the print head is open 
then closed to detect the print start position.   
 
(1) AUTO CALIB 
 
• OFF
 Disabled.  
•  ON TRANS.  Enabled. (Transmissive sensor) 
•  ON REFLECT  Enabled. (Reflective sensor) 
•  ON ALL  Enabled. (Transmissive & Reflective 
sensors) 
• ON TRANS.+Bfeed  same as “ON TRANS” setting 
• ON REFLECT+Bfeed  same as “ON REFLECT” setting 
• ON ALL+Bfeed  same as “ON ALL” setting 
 
 
NOTES: 
1.  When AUTO CALIB is enabled, an automatic calibration is 
performed at an open/close of the print head and at a power on 
time.  
2.  After the automatic calibration is performed, the media length, 
effective print length, sensor type and whether the ribbon is used 
or not, obtained through the calibration, will take effect until next 
calibration is performed or the printer power is turned off.  
(Settings specified by commands are ignored.) 
3.   This function is available only when the media pitch is 10.0 mm to 
150.0 mm. 
4.  When the printer cannot detect the second black mark/gap, it will 
continue to feed the media for up to 500.0mm.  If a black mark/gap 
is still not detected, the printer will stop, resulting in a paper jam.  
5.  During an automatic calibration, the printer also feeds the ribbon.  
Even if the ribbon is not loaded, this will not result in an error.  
However, the print condition will be automatically changed to “No 
ribbon” after the calibration ends.  
6.   When the cutter is installed and a previous issue was performed in 
cut issue mode, the media is cut and ejected after the automatic 
calibration is completed. 
7.  When a label end occurs during an automatic calibration, the 
printer stops, resulting in an error.  Loading new media and 
closing the print head can clear the error and resume the 
automatic calibration. 
8.   Since the optional ribbon saving module is not available for the B-
X4T2, Setting + Bfeed will have no effect and the setting will revert 
to without BFeed. 
9.  The feed speed during automatic calibration is 3 ips.  
10. Do not open the print head during automatic calibration.  The 
subsequent printer operation is not guaranteed. If you open the 
print head, turn off the power and back to on.
