Calibrate the spectrophotometer
Calibrate the spectrophotometer to prepare it for measuring the calibration page.
Make sure that both the white tile on the cradle and the instrument aperture are clean. If the white tile has a cover, make sure that the cover is open.
White point calibration is used to compensate for gradual drifts in the spectrophotometer. The spectrophotometer must be placed in its cradle, and the sample aperture must be in full contact with the white tile on the cradle. If you do not place it correctly in the cradle, the spectrophotometer does not return accurate measurements.
The serial numbers of the spectrophotometer and the cradle must match for accurate calibration.
- After printing the calibration page, place the spectrophotometer in its cradle.
- Click Continue or press the button on the spectrophotometer.
If the calibration is successful, you can proceed to measure the calibration page.
