Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for calibration of a media processing device are provided. The method may include providing a calibration sub-routine where the calibration sub-routine includes a plurality of calibration operations to be performed in sequence. The method may further include associating an audible note with each calibration operation and generating the audible note for each calibration operation as each respective calibration operation is performed, where the audible note is generated by a frequency of operation of a motor. The audible note associated with one calibration operation may be different from the audible note associated with another calibration operation.
Claims20
A method of calibrating a media processing device comprising:
- providing a calibration sub-routine wherein the calibration sub-routine comprises a plurality of calibration operations to be performed in sequence;
- associating an audible note with each calibration operation;
- generating the audible note for each calibration operation as each respective phase of the calibration is entered, wherein the audible note is generated by a frequency of operation of a feed motor.
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to perform a calibration sub-routine comprising a plurality of calibration operations;
- and
- a feed motor, wherein the feed motor is configured to emit an audible note in response to operating at each of a plurality of frequencies, wherein the audible note is different for each of the plurality of frequencies, and wherein each of the plurality of calibration operations is configured to be performed with the feed motor operating at a particular frequency to generate a particular audible note associated with the respective calibration operation.
A method for calibrating a media processing device comprising:
- advancing media past a sensor in a first direction;
- determining a white-level for the media;
- determining a black-level for the media based on a first mark on the media;
- and
- reversing the media past the sensor in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to determine a mark length based on the first mark on the media.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- advance media past a sensor in a first direction;
- determine a white-level for the media;
- determine a black-level for the media based on a first mark on the media;
- and
- reverse the media past the sensor in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to determine a mark length based on the first mark on the media.
