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:

The examples that follow detail the 
calibration of die-cut media; however, 
unless otherwise noted, the procedure 
for calibrating reflective media is the 
same.

If using preprinted media, ensure the 
label area over the sensor is free of 
text, graphics, lines, etc.
