Measurement Notes and Tips

• You should refer to the documentation for the software program that you are using with your instrument. All

applications that utilize this instrument must be running during measurements.

• The strip must have at least a 1.2″ (30.5mm) leader before the leading edge of the first step. Contact X-Rite

Applications Support if additional information is required. Inspect the strip for spots or defects on the steps.

Defects may cause inaccurate measurements.

• If a strip does not have the necessary 1.2″ (30.5mm) unprinted leader before the first patch or a reading would

cause one or more of the wheels to be off the sample, follow the steps listed below:

1. Obtain extra pieces of the sample stock.

2. Position the pieces so that all four wheels of the instrument ride along the same height stock when patches

are measured.
