Calibrating a Godex Label Printer

Learn how to calibrate your Godex label printer in Bravo to ensure accurate label printing, including step-by-step instructions for calibration and troubleshooting common issues.

Godex label printers offer two common calibration methods: using the Feed button or navigating the menu (depending on your model). Here's a breakdown of both methods:

Method 1: Using the Feed Button (most models)

  1. Power Down: Turn off your Godex printer completely.
  2. Locate the Feed Button: Find the Feed button on the front panel of your printer. It typically has an arrow symbol pointing forward.
  3. Hold and Power Up:
    • Press and hold the Feed button.
    • While holding the button, turn on the printer.
  4. Button Release based on Light:
    • Three beeps and printout: If you hear three quick beeps, keep holding the button until the printer feeds and prints a calibration page. Once printing finishes, release the button.
    • Red flashing light: In some models, the light might turn red and start flashing. Release the button when this happens, and the printer will perform calibration.
  5. Calibration Complete: After the calibration process (printing or flashing light), your Godex printer is ready to use.

Method 2: Using the Menu (if applicable)

Note: Not all Godex models have a menu option for calibration. Consult your user manual if you're unsure.

  1. Power On: Turn on your Godex printer.
  2. Access Printer Menu: How you access the menu depends on your model. It might involve using directional buttons or a specific button combination. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions.
  3. Find Calibration Option: Once in the menu, navigate to the "Calibration" or "Setup" section. Look for options related to label calibration.
  4. Select and Calibrate: Choose the "Calibrate" or "Print Calibration Label" option (depending on your model's menu). The printer will then perform the calibration process automatically.

General Tips:

  • Refer to User Manual: Consult the user manual that came with your Godex printer for detailed instructions specific to your model.
  • Test Print: After calibration, perform a test print to confirm the labels are feeding and printing correctly with proper size and alignment.
  • Advanced Calibration: If you encounter issues or require more advanced calibration options, refer to your user manual or contact Godex support for further assistance.
