4.8 Adjustment of Paper End 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 4-13.
Turn VR8 (PE) 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.
3. Connect (+) probe of the multimeter to Sig+ and (-) probe to the end of the 2A check pin on
the TP Test Module.
4. Switch ON the power of the printer.
5. For Low level (without label) adjustment, ensure that nothing is set at the sensor. Then
adjust the electrical level with VR8 on the main circuit board so that it will measure less
than +1.0V.
6. For High level (with label) adjustment, set the backing paper (not including the eye-mark)
at the sensor and check the electrical level. If the level is more than +3.0V, it is acceptable.
If not, return to STEPS 5 & 6 and readjust VR8.
7. Standard values: Low level (without label): below +1.0V
High level (with 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.
