LABEL GAP SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment will require the use of a multimeter and the TP Test Module. The label-gap
sensor may also be adjusted via the Service Mode.
1 Remove the top, front, and left housing cover to access main circuit board (1, Figure 8-8).
2 Turn VR6 potentiometer (2) fully counter-clockwise.
3 Connect test module (3) to main circuit board connector (4).
4 Turn dial (5) on test module (3) to position number 5.
5 Connect the positive (+) probe of the multimeter to pin SIG (6) on test module (3).
6 Connect the negative (-) probe of the multimeter to pin GRD (7) on test module (3).
7 Ensure the multimeter is for DC voltage reading.
8 Place the label backing only in position to be read by the sensor.
9 Adjust VR6 potentiometer (2) so that the multimeter value is less than 0.5 volts.
10 Replace the label backing with a label in position to be read by the sensor.
11 Observe the multimeter for a value of +1.0 volts more than the prior value read.
12 Repeat steps 8 through 11 until the value is 1.0 volts.
13 Test print labels to ensure proper function.
14 Disconnect test module (3) from main circuit board (1).
15 Disconnect test module (3) from main circuit board (1) and replace housing covers.
