If your X-Rite Measuring Instrument requests a “Recalibrate”, recalibrate the instrument using the Calibrate function in the Settings menu.
How to recalibrate X-Rite Measuring Instruments?
If your X-Rite Measuring Instrument requests a “Recalibrate”, recalibrate the instrument using the Calibrate function in the Settings menu.
What to do if X-Rite RM200QC Measuring Instruments is not responding?
If your X-Rite Measuring Instrument is not responding, hold down the on/off button for 10 seconds to turn it off, and then restart it.
What to do if X-Rite RM200QC detects too much ambient light?
If your X-Rite Measuring Instrument detects too much ambient light: * Ensure the instrument remains on the sample until the measurement is complete. * Shield the sample to prevent light from entering the optics, especially during measurements on rough or curved samples. * For transparent samples, block light from entering the sides or back. * Place the sample on a white background.
