printer will automatically set the level half way between the two measured

voltages each time the printer is powered on with labels loaded.

5. Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and

advance to the Calendar Set display.

6. Repeat this procedure using values slightly higher or lower until the optimum

performance is obtained. If you cannot find a setting between the high and low

readings that gives adequate performance, please refer to the “S” Printer Service

Manual.

EYE - When setting the eye threshold, the voltage must be measured with nothing

but the label under the sensor and then again with the printed eye mark under the

sensor. The formula for this is:

(High Voltage Level + Low Voltage Level) x 0.5 = Start Value

1. Insert a label into the sensor (see Section 3: Cleaning and Maintenance for location

of the sensors) and close the Label Hold-Down. Make sure the printed eye mark is

not under the sensor. Record the voltage shown on the top line of the LCD panel.

This line should have the message EYE on the top line (DIP switch DSW2-2 =

ON).

2. Now pull the label forward until the eye mark is positioned under the sensor (the

voltage reading should be at its highest point). Record the voltage shown on the

top line of the LCD panel. The voltage ranges measured should be within the

following ranges:

Label Only Eye Mark

Less than 1.0V 2.5V to 3.5V

If the measured values are outside this range, you may have trouble in finding a value

that will work properly under all conditions. If this is the case, a higher quality

label may be needed to get adequate performance.

3. Calculate the starting point voltage using the formula.

4. Use the LINE key to step the counter to the desired setting. The display will

increment one step for each time the LINE key is pressed. If the LINE key is held

pressed for more than two seconds, it will automatically go into the fast scroll

mode. The reading will advance to a setting of 4.9 (the maximum voltage) after

which it will automatically wrap and start at 0.0 again. If a value of 0.0 is set, the

printer will automatically set the level each time the printer is powered on with

labels loaded or the head is closed.

5. Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and

advance to the Calendar Set display.

6. Repeat this procedure using values slightly higher or lower until the value that

gives adequate performance is found. If adequate performance cannot be

obtained, please refer to the “S” Printer Service Manual.
