Standard Calibration

The Standard Calibration can be performed using the NETira CT Utility or using the front panel buttons via
the printer's menu, (see the Operator's Manual). 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, Notch, Hole or Mark – with media liner, a notch, hole, 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:

The Sensor Calibration menu item is only accessible in the Advanced Menu mode.
Step Action
A Turn ON the printer.
Press the MENU button. Make sure
MEDIA SETTINGS is highlighted

Then using the DOWN button,
scroll to SENSOR CALIBRATION.
Press ENTER to access SENSOR
CALIBRATION. Then using the
C DOWN button, scroll to PERFORM
CALIBRATION. Press ENTER again
and then press YES to proceed.
With no media installed, press
D
ESC.
Proceed according to the media
type:
Die-Cut – Remove a label or two
from the liner then install the
media. Position the Media Sensor
under the liner area and press
ESC.
E
Notched (or Reflective) – Install
media. Position the Media Sensor
under a notch (or black mark) and
press ESC.
