Handling Calibration Completion

Hello,

I'm currently developing a WPF application to manage a Zebra ZD220 printer. In the application flow, I utilize the ToolsUtil.Calibrate method to initiate the printer calibration process. However, during calibration, the printer's completion time typically ranges from 3 to 7 seconds. Given that my application employs polling mechanisms, I encounter a challenge in determining precisely when the calibration process concludes.

I'm seeking a way to determine the printer's response once the calibration is complete.

Thank you.

The time of the calibration process on a printer is variable and generally determined by the length of the label installed. The longer the label is, the more time the calibration process takes. This is because the printer needs to feed a full label to measure the length of the label. There is no event when the calibration process completes. We probably have to rely on the user to check when the calibration completes and whether the calibration completes successfully. There is no graceful way to check the calibration completion programmatically, rather than leaving the process a predetermined time, which longest time based on the max length of the labels.
