Section 4. Electrial Checks and Adjustments
4.7 Adjustment of Label Penetrating Sensor
STEP PROCEDURE
Refer to Section 4.2 and remove the left side cover for access to the main circuit board.
1. Refer to illustrations and charts on pages 4-3, 4-4 and 4-11.
Turn VR7 (PS) potentiometer on the main circuit board all the way to the left, until you
hear the CLICK sound.
2. Set the digital multimeter to DC voltage measurement mode. Attach the connector from
the TP Test Module to the test port on the main circuit board. Note the correct positioning
of the connector. Nibs on the connector are placed down in the receptacle on the circuit
board in the forward position. Set the dial of the TP Test Module to 8.
3. Connect (+) probe of the multimeter to Sig+ and (-) probe to pin GND.
4. Switch ON the power of the printer.
5. For Low level (with label) adjustment, set the backing paper (not including the eye-mark)
of the label at the sensor. Then adjust the electrical level with VR7 on the main circuit
board so that it will measure less than 1.0V.
6. For High level (without label) adjustment, ensure that nothing is set at the sensor and check
the electrical level. If the level difference is +3.0V, it is acceptable. If not, return to
STEPS 5 & 6 and readjust VR7.
7. Standard values: Low level (Label Backing Paper): below +1.0V
High level (without label): +3.0V or higher. If these values
do not result, try the following:
a) Repeat the process
b) Clean the sensor
c) Verify sensor is operational and replace if necessary
d) Replace labels with higher quality labels.
e) Perform factory reset.
