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.

4. Adjust the position using the OFFSET potentiometer on the front control panel and feed

another label by depressing the FEED key. Repeat this procedure until the label is fully

released from the liner.
