2.5.5 CAL. MEDIA
CALIBRATION MEDIA is used to calibrate the sensitivity of the Optical Positioning
System (OPOS) sensor.
This calibration is normally done at the factory. Run this test when the cutter fails
to read the markers on a certain type of media.
First, print a black square measuring at least 4x4cm on the media that will be
used. Be sure to use the same ink that will be used when creating the
registration markers. Leave an area of blank media around the square that
extends out at least 4cm in each direction.
Press the
key to perform the test. Then follow the instructions on the LCD.
2.5.6 CAL. OPOS
CALIBRATION OPOS is used to calibrate the Optical Positioning System (OPOS).
This calibration is normally done at the factory. When the system is no longer
working precisely, a calibration test must be performed. Calibration determines
and records the exact distance between the knife tip and the sensor.
Press the
key to perform the test. Then follow the instructions on the LCD.
