Standard Calibration - Datamax W-Class Maintenance Manual

2.1.2 Standard Calibration

During the Standard Calibration process, the printhead assembly can be raised for visual access to the
media and media sensor. In addition, displayed sensor readings can be used to indicate the best position
over the media. These features are helpful when using small, position-critical TOF notches or marks.
Three readings are required:
 Empty: No media in the sensor.
 Gap (or Mark): Only the backing, notch, or reflective mark in the sensor.
 Paper: The label (with the liner attached) in the sensor.
Make sure media is loaded and that the appropriate Sensor Type has been selected, then perform the
Standard Calibration as follows:
