Media calibration
Media calibration ensures that the sensor is able to recognize the marks. OPOS is
calibrated at the factory to work on a wide range of media. However, certain media --
such as those with a high gloss -- may not work with the default settings. Before
working with such materials, perform a media calibration test. This test will alter OPOS’s
sensitivity so that it will read the marks with greater reliability.
Print a square measuring at least 4x4 cm on the media that will be used. Be sure to use
the same ink as the one that will be used when creating the registration marks.
ATTENTION: It is not recommended to do a media calibration for OPOS. If
the media calibration is done and results didn’t improve, set the media
calibration value again to the default setting: 30 (the procedure explains this
at a later stage).
