Not sure if this is exactly what you are asking but this is what I found.
"The DTP41 is designed to ask for calibration every 24hrs of power-up
time. In addition, many software applications will require calibration
at the start of the program. To manually force an instrument calibration
proceed as follows:
* Begin by locating the Color Reflection Reference (P/N
DTP41-100). It is located in a protective envelope. This is a calibrated
and certified media NOTE: Each reference for a DTP41 has a serial number,
and is to be used only with the instrument it came with!
* Apply power to the Spectrophotometer.
* Insert
the calibration strip, so that the black and colored squares line up
with the mark on the face of the instrument. Insert until it touches the
back rollers, this is approximately three inches.
* Push and hold the black button, until the light turns solid yellow;
release the button.
* Press
the black button again (a second time). The instrument LED will begin
to flash yellow. The motor starts, but the strip does not move - THIS IS
NORMAL.
* The
LED will flash green and then begin to flash yellow again. In
approximately one second the calibration reference should begin to be
pulled through.
* If calibration is performed successfully, the
light will return to green. If the calibration failed, the light will
begin flashing yellow rapidly. If the calibration fails, wait for the
error to time out: try to calibrate again.
* After a successful calibration - return the Color Reflection Reference
strip to its protective envelope."
