The printer will receive the actual label size when you send a print job to the printer and thus usually does not require calibration. However, the printer also has a calibration button if manual calibration should be needed. Please refer to page 11 of the manual on the flash drive you received with the printer to locate the button. Hold the button until the LEDs on the printer start to flash orange to initiate manual calibration.
