5.2.1

Standard Calibration

Standard Calibration provides dynamic readings, which can be helpful when using media
with small position-critical notches or marks. Three calibration samples are required:
Empty – with nothing over the sensor;
•
Gap (or Mark) – with media liner, a notch, or a mark over the sensor; and,
•
Paper – with the label (and liner, if any) over the sensor.
•
Calibrate the Media Sensor using the steps below:
Before proceeding, ensure that the ADVANCED MENU is enabled (see Section 4.2.4)
and that the SENSOR TYPE is selected (see Section 4.2.1).
