Calibrating the RP5 Potentiometer
Step	Procedure
1	Before attempting to calibrate the RP5 potentiometer, the magnetic encoder
	head must be plugged into the J100 connector.
2	A digital DC volt meter is also required. Set the meter to read in a range of 0-10
	volts, DC.
3	Attach the black ground lead of the meter to the bare metal chassis of the Printer
	and touch the red positive lead of the meter to the TP8 solder pad on the Main
	Circuit Board, as shown below.
4	With power applied to the Printer, you should read 6 volts DC at TP8. This value
	indicates that the magnetic head is calibrated for 2750 Oersteds.
5	To raise the Oersted level to 4000, adjust RP5 until the voltage reading at TP8
	reads 8 volts DC. See the RP5 Magnetic Adjustment below.
