5.4.2 Standard Calibration
Standard Calibration is appropriate for most media types. During the 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, which
is 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.
