4 Turn dial (5) on test module (3) to position number 0.
5 Connect the positive (+) probe of the multimeter to connection port (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 a label without the eye-mark part in position to be read by the sensor.
9 Adjust VR8 potentiometer (2) so that the multimeter value is less than 1.0 volts.
10 Replace the label without the eye-mark with one that has the eye-mark for sensor reading.
11 Observe the multimeter for a value of +3.0 volts more than the prior value read.
12 Repeat steps 8 through 11 until the value is 3.0 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.
OFFSET LABEL STOP POSITION ADJUSTMENT
The following procedure provides for fine adjustment of the label stop position for Tear-Off and
Cutter Modes. The feed/backfeed is adjusted with the OFFSET potentiometer located on the
upper surface of the left housing cover. The Offset adjustment range is +/- 3.75mm.
1 Turn the OFFSET (VR2) potentiometer dial midway of the scale.
2 Press and hold the FEED key while switching on the printer.
3 Release the FEED key when the printer emits an audible beep.
4 Press the ENTER key to advance to the next display.
NOTE: Figure 10-1 of the Diagrams & Schematics section provides guidance
on housing cover installation.
NOTE: Figure 10-4 Block Diagram; Figure 10-5, Accessories & Sensors
Location; and Figure 10-6, Print Reference Position of the Diagram &
Schematics section provides additional guidance.
NOTE: Only the stop position is changed with the Offset potentiometer. The
print position is changed using the Pitch potentiometer.
NOTE: The Offset potentiometer is located on the upper surface of the left
housing cover.
