3.4.4   Advanced Entry Calibration 
Advanced Entry is an alternate calibration method for special-case media types, where sensor 
readings are taken using different sampling algorithms and from a list of these readings the best 
algorithm is selected for manual entry into the database. 
 
 
Advanced Entry Calibration should be used only when Standard Calibration proves unsuccessful. 
 
 
 
 
Calibrate the Media Sensor using the steps below: 
 
 
The Sensor Calibration menu item is only accessible in the Advanced Menu mode.

The following examples detail 
die-cut media calibration; 
however, unless otherwise 
noted, the reflective media 
procedure is the same. 
E 
Install media. Position the Media 
in the Media Sensor then lower 
and latch the Printhead
