3.2.2 Media calibration
Media calibration ensures that the sensor is able to recognize the markers. 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 markers with greater reliability.
Print a square measuring at least 4x4cm on the media that will be used. Be sure to
use the same ink that will be used when creating the registration markers.
NOTE: It is not recommended to do media calibration for OPOS. If the media
calibration is done and results are not better, then set the media calibration value
again to default: 30 (see further in the procedure how).
Doing media calibration:
1. Turn on the cutter and load the vinyl with the printed square.
2. Press
.
‘Velocity’ will appear on the LCD.
3. Press
.
‘System Setup’ will appear on the LCD.
4. Press
.
‘Confidence’ will appear on the LCD.
5. Use
or to scroll through the menu until ‘Cal Media’ is reached, press .
‘Measure’ will appear on the LCD.
The cutter allows the user to choose to either measure the media or to fill in a
previously recorded value.
NOTE: If a combination of media color – marker color has already been calibrated
and recorded, then press and then . Now use and to enter this value
directly, without having to remeasure it; press to confirm.
1. Press
.
The cutter will lower the sensor. On the display, the message ”put sensor on white
area” will appear.
2. Use
, , and to maneuver the knife on top of a white area (the
area should be at least 3 by 3 cm or 1” by 1”).
