How to Calibrate a Lamination Sensor on a DTC550

If your ID card printer is not properly recognizing your lamination film, either by not recognizing the type of film or acknowledging that a film has been replaced, you will need to calibrate the sensors on your DTC550 printer.

Please Note: The Fargo DTC550 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 Fargo DTC550, and choose Printing Preferences.
3. Click on the Calibrate Tab.
4. Click on Sensor.
   
5. Click on Send under Lamination Sensor Calibration.

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