BACKFEED OFFSET

have enough range, then you will have to change the pitch setting using the LCD front panel display.

6.Press the FEED key to stop the printer.

7.To exit the Test Label mode, power the printer off and then back on. Adjusting the PITCH potentiometer will affect the stop position of the label.

BACKFEED OFFSET

When a label is printed it must be correctly positioned for dispensing and application. The Backfeed adjustment is used to position the label so that it is fully dispensed and ready for application. It may then be necessary to reposition the next label before printing. The Backfeed (repositioning of the label) operation is enabled if DSW3-4 is in the Off position. If backfeed is enabled, placing DSW3-1 in the Off position will cause the backfeed operationto be performed immediately before each label is printed. If DSW3-1 is in the On position, the backfeed operation is performed as soon as the dispensed label has been printed and taken from the printer.

The amount of backfeed is controlled by the OFFSET potentiometer on the DIP Switch Panel inside the cover. When turned all the way counterclockwise, the amount of backfeed is +3.75 mm, and -3.75 mm when turned all the way counterclockwise.

1.Turn the printer on.

2.Press the LINE key to place the printer in the Off Line status.

3.Press the FEED key to feed out a blank label.

4.Adjust the position using the OFFSET potentiometer on the front control panel and feed another label by depressing the FEED key. Repeat this procedure until the label is fully released from the liner.

DISPLAY

This potentiometer is used to adjust the contrast of the LCD display for optimum viewing under various lighting conditions.

PRINT

The PRINT potentiometer is used to adjust the amount of heat (i.e., power) applied to the head for printing. It provides a continuous range of adjustment. Maximum print darkness is obtained by turning the potentiometer all the way clockwise and a maximum counterclockwise setting will give the lightest print.

	NOTE: The PRINT potentiometer adjustment will affect the darkness in all of the
36	commend code speed and darkness ranges.
