Standard Calibration - Datamax H Class Operator's Manual

Standard Calibration

During this process, the printhead assembly can be raised for visual access. In addition, active
sensor readings can be used to further determine the best position for small, position-critical
TOF notches or marks. Three readings are required:
•
Empty: A measurement taken with no media over the sensor.
•
TOF Indicator: A measurement taken with only the media backing (liner) material,
notch, or reflective mark placed over the sensor.
•
Paper: A measurement taken with the label (and the liner) placed over the sensor.
Before calibrating, ensure that the Advanced Menu system is enabled, and that the Media
Sensor Type has been selected. Then, use the steps below and the displayed prompts to
guide you through the procedure:
