Purpose
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to calibrate the Omron Microscan V275 Imaging Device. Proper calibration ensures uniform imaging and reflectance measurements compliant with ISO standards.
Explanation
The V275 Imaging Device requires calibration using an Omron Microscan calibration card. Calibration determines the white balance, geometric, and photometric accuracy to meet ISO standards. Calibration is necessary under the following conditions:
First-time use of a new V275 printer.
After replacing the print ribbon.
After every 2,000 labels for direct thermal labels.
A clean, undamaged calibration card specific to the printer must be used, and cards should be replaced every two years or if damaged.
Supported Devices
Omron Microscan V275 Imaging Device.
Requirements
Omron Microscan calibration card specific to the printer.
Clean and undamaged calibration card.
V275 Imaging Device properly mounted and connected.
Procedure
Open the V275 software and navigate to the Settings menu.
Select the Calibration icon.
Enter the Contrast and R-Max values printed on your calibration card.
Insert the calibration card, white (unprinted) side up, ensuring it extends all the way under the device to the print head.
Lift the imaging device slightly while inserting the card.
Insert the card above the small silver pin located on the front right side of the device mounting bracket.
Click Begin to start the calibration process.
The device will automatically balance the video. This process may take a few seconds. If the card or device is moved, the balancing process may restart. Once stable, the message Video balancing complete will appear.
Click Next to proceed.
Follow the onscreen prompts to remove the calibration card.
Flip the card over so the barcodes are facing up and reinsert it properly.
The system will display grading feedback and make minor tuning adjustments.
Ensure all grades are 4.0.
If grades are satisfactory, the SAVE button will become active.
Click SAVE to complete the calibration or RE-CALIBRATE to restart if necessary.
The system is now calibrated and ready for use.
