Calibrating the DTP32<br />
You will need the black-and-white X-Rite Auto-Cal Strip included with the<br />
densitometer. Calibrating the densitometer does not require <strong>Color</strong>Wise Pro Tools.<br />
TO CALIBRATE THE X-RITE DTP32<br />
1. Connect the densitometer to the computer and supply power (see page A-8).<br />
2. From the Main Menu on the X-Rite DTP32 display, press the p1 key once to reach p2.<br />
3. Press the cal key.<br />
Calibrating motor speed is displayed, followed by the words INSERT CAL STRIP.<br />
4. Insert the arrow end of the X-Rite Auto-Cal Strip into the 35mm slot on the front of<br />
the X-Rite DTP32 until it stops or the roller starts pulling the strip.<br />
Reading appears momentarily, followed by the density values and CALIBRATION OK.<br />
The densitometer automatically returns to the MAIN MENU.<br />
If UNRECOGNIZABLE STRIP appears, repeat the process or try cleaning the strip (see the<br />
X-Rite DTP32 Operating Manual).<br />
5. Start <strong>Color</strong>Wise Pro Tools and calibrate the <strong>GA</strong>-<strong>11</strong>20 (see the following section).<br />
Recalibrate the DTP32 at least once per month. For critical color, calibrate the<br />
densitometer every time you calibrate the <strong>GA</strong>-<strong>11</strong>20. The DTP32 may also warn<br />
periodically that it requires calibration.
