Calibration

WARNING Class 2 laser light. Do not stare into the laser beam or a reflected image of the laser beam.

WARNING Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

The validator should be calibrated when it is first installed or when the printer displays Calibration warning. A special calibration bar code card is included with the validator package.

1.Make sure the printer is on and the scanning beam is on. If the beam is off, press the RESET button for less than 2 seconds to turn on the beam.
