POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS

PITCH

After the pitch has been set with the LCD Control Panel, it is sometimes desirable to

make minor adjustments. This can be done using the PITCH potentiometer on the

top panel. This potentiometer is set at the factory so that it has a range of +/- 3.75

mm. The midpoint setting should have no effect on the pitch. Turning the

potentiometer all the way clockwise should move the print position 3.75 mm up

towards the top edge of the label. Turning it all the way counterclockwise should

move the print position down 3.75 mm.

1. While depressing the FEED key on the front panel, power the printer on.

2. When you hear one beep from the printer, release the FEED key and the printer

will display on the LCD panel a message asking what type of Test Label you want

to print.

3. Use the Cursor keys to step to the Configuration selection and press the ENTER

key to accept the selection.

4. Use the Cursor keys to select the Test Label Size. After the size is selected, press

the ENTER key to accept the selection and the printer will begin to print test

labels continuously.

5. Adjust the PITCH potentiometer on the front panel until the first print position is

at the desired location on the label. If the potentiometer does not have enough

range, then you will have to change the pitch setting using the front panel display.

6. Press the FEED key to stop the printer.

7. To exit the Test Label mode, power the printer off and then back on.

Adjusting the PITCH potentiometer will affect the stop position of the label.

BACKFEED OFFSET

When a label is printed it must be correctly positioned for dispensing and

application. The Backfeed adjustment is used to position the label so that it is fully

dispensed and ready for application. It may then be necessary to reposition the next

label before printing. The Backfeed (repositioning of the label) operation is enabled if

DSW3-4 is in the Off position. If Backfeed is enabled, placing DSW3-1 is in the Off

position will cause the backfeed operation to be performed immediately before each

label is printed. If DSW3-1 is in the On position, the backfeed operation is performed

as soon as the dispensed label has been printed and taken from the printer.

The amount of backfeed is controlled by the OFFSET potentiometer on the DIP

Switch Panel inside the cover. When turned all the way counterclockwise, the

amount of backfeed is +3.75 mm, and -3.75 mm when turned all the way

counterclockwise.

1. Turn the printer on.

2. Press the LINE key to place the printer in the Off Line status.

3. Press the FEED key to feed out a blank label.
