Chapter 6 Setting Up the Printer
Setup Parameters, cont'd.
Contrast
The contrast setup is used to make minor adjustments of the blackness
in the printout, e.g. to adapt the printer to variations in quality
between different batches of the same paper quality. 11 options are
displayed in an endless loop from -10% to +10%. Default value is
0%. The contrast is reset to default (±0) whenever a new paper type
is specifi ed, regardless which method has been used.
Testfeed
The sensitivity of the label stop sensor (LSS) may need to be
adjusted, e.g. when switching from one type of media to another.
This is especially the case when using self-adhesive labels fi tted on
a semi-transparent backing paper (liner). Adjusting the LSS entails
feeding out a number of blank copies until the fi rmware has decided
the proper setting for the LSS. At the same time, the front edges
of the labels, tickets etc. are detected so the paper feed control can
position the paper according to the Feedadjust setup (same as the
Intermec Fingerprint statement TESTFEED). The comparator and
amplifi er values of the LSS are displayed (read-only).
Head Resistance
The printhead resistance is measured automatically at startup and
displayed (read-only).
Testprint
Test label #1 – 4 are intended for checking the printout quality
and facilitate adjustment of the printhead pressure (see chapter 12
“Adjustments”). Test labels #5a and #5b list the printer's current
setup (extra labels may be printed if the printer is fi tted an optional
interface board). Test label #6 is only printed in connection with
the optional EasyLAN 100i interface board. The test labels #1–5b
are illustrated on next page. If the printer refuses to print a test
label, press the <F3> key to fi nd out what is wrong, e.g. printhead
lifted or out-of paper.
