3.5.3 Standard Calibration
The Standard Calibration can be performed using the DMXConfig Utility (see Section 3.4) and
using the front panel buttons (see Appendix C). On display-equipped printers the Standard
Calibration routine can also be initiated via the printer’s menu, see Section 4.5. Once you have
installed the DMXConfig utility and the printer is properly loaded with media:
1. Connect the host to the printer with a
serial or parallel cable.
2. Turn on the printer.
3. Launch the DMXConfig utility.
4. Query the printer by using the ‘Query
Printer’ toolbar button (top-left). This will
connect to the printer and get the current
printer settings.
5. Select the “Sensor Calibration” Tab and
then click the “Media Calibration Wizard”
button. When prompted click “OK” to start
the calibration wizard.
6. The Calibration Wizard will now prompt
you to ‘Load Stock’. Be sure the media is
properly loaded in the printer. Close the
printhead and click “OK”.
