3.3 THE CONFIGURATION PANEL

The Configuration Panel is accessible when you lift up the top cover.

The panel consists of an eight-position DIP switch, four adjustment potentiometers and a seven- segment LED Error Status display. Receptacles for connecting the optional Cutter (factory installed) are also located on this panel.

Change and fine-tune your printer settings as required by using the mini-screw driver to turn the potentiometers clockwise/anti-clockwise until you have the optimal adjustment position.

Do not touch VR2 and VR3. They are reserved for professional adjustments and for a trained service person only.
