Kala laminator calibration

How do I calibrate the Kala laminator? I tried pressing foot pedal and M and nothing happened. I made sure foot pedal was turned on

You need to turn the machine off. At the panel - not the power switch. Then Press M and the foot pedal.

I tried that too , idk what I'm doing wrong geez lol the power is off on front screen and I press pedal and M at same time, also tried pressing M and up arrow. Does it nit calibratie if it doesn't need too? I ended up laminating without doing it and it was fine

I don't think I've ever done it just for fun - I do it when it throws and error and I pretty much have to calibrate to do anything.
So, the main power is on (in back)... but you have the power off on the panel (in front)... and you are hitting M while pressing the actual foot pedal (not the button) and it's not doing anything?

Oh okay, I usually don't run the laminator myself so I wasn't sure! It's not working but thank you, I'll ask my coworker how he does when he gets back
