STEP PROCEDURE
2. Strip the label from the backing and insert the backing strip under the
sensor and close the label lid. Record the voltage shown on the top
line of the LCD panel. The voltage ranges measured should be within
the following ranges:
If the measured values are outside this range, you may have trouble
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 or adjust VR2. See Section 4-7.
3. Calculate the input value voltage using the formula above.
4. Use the LINE key to step the input to the desired value. The display
will increment one step for each time the LINE key is pressed. If the
LINE key is held down 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 between the two measured
voltages each time the printer is powered on with labels loaded.
5. 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,
then the label stock has too much variation in its opacity and a better
quality stock should be used.
6. Once the setting is correct, press the FEED key to accept the setting.
