Electrical Checks and Adjustments
4.1 Overview
This section describes how to check M-10e Printer voltage levels and adjust threshold sensor
voltages.
The power supply converts 125 VAC into regulated DC voltages. The printer uses: +5V and
+24V. These DC voltages are not adjustable, however you can measure these DC voltages at
test points located on the PCB. Section 4.3 contains procedures for measuring DC voltage
levels.
You can adjust threshold voltage levels for label sensors. These adjustments are made to
allow for variations in the characteristics of the labels used with the printer. If you cannot
calibrate the label sensor voltage level within the specified voltage range, you should
reposition the label sensor by following the adjustment procedures included in this section.
After completing the label sensor adjustment procedures, perform the label sensor voltage
level adjustment procedure.
You can check or adjust:
• Power Voltage
• Label Sensors
• Ribbon Sensor
• Pitch Offset
Checks and adjustments in this section require standard metric tools.
Also required:
Digital Multimeter required for use with SATO Test Module (Voltage Checker)
Part #RH1773100 and is required for most electrical adjustments.
