How to Calibrate a Ribbon Sensor on a C30e

If your C30e ID card printer is not properly recognizing your ribbon, either by not recognizing the type of ribbon or acknowledging that a ribbon has been replaced, you will need to calibrate the ribbon sensors on your C30e printer.

Please Note: The Fargo C30e has been discontinued by the manufacturer. If you need a new printer, the AlphaCard System Selector can help you find the best printer for your needs.

To Calibrate Your Printer

1. Go to your Devices and Printers folder.
2. Right click on the C30e, and choose Printing Preferences.
3. Click on the Calibrate tab, then click Sensors.
4. Read the instructions and then click Send. The printer should beep twice if the calibration was successful.

Your printer ribbon sensors should now be calibrated and working properly. If you continue to experience problems, please contact AlphaCard technical support.
