Advanced Entry Calibration - Datamax H Class Operator's Manual

Advanced Entry Calibration

ADVANCED ENTRY should only be used when the Standard Calibration method has failed.
To facilitate the placement of the media sensor, the printhead assembly can be raised. During
this procedure, sampled readings will be used to manually establish the best gain algorithm for
sensing the media. 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:
