Thermal Printer Calibration

Use the calibration flow to compare printed length with real measurements, then correct DPI until thermal output lands where it should.

Start with a test strip

Print a long ruler segment first. Longer test strips make drift easier to measure and give a cleaner correction than a tiny sample.

Measure the output

Measure from the printed zero mark, not from the paper edge. Record the difference in inches or millimeters and enter it into the calibration tool.

Reprint and verify

After applying the correction, print again and check the new ruler length. Repeat only if the printer still misses the target.
