2.1.3 Advanced Entry Calibration
Advanced Entry is the alternate calibration method for special-case media types. In the procedure,
sensor readings for the label and TOF values are taken using different sampling algorithms. From this
compiled list of values the best algorithm is selected and then used to generate new readings for
manual entry into memory.
Note: Use this method only when Standard Calibration was unsuccessful.
With the SENSOR TYPE enabled, perform an Advanced Entry Calibration by following the steps below:
