Sensor Trim Pots

Your 656 / 636 printer is equipped with several sensors used to detect the status of the printer and its supplies. While these sensors are calibrated at the time your printer is manufactured, there may be times when re-calibration is required. Re calibration times are indicated in the troubleshooting section.

The following guidelines indicate the proper procedure used to calibrate the sensors. A voltmeter is highly recommended for this procedure, however the Bank of Lights will provide an estimation of sensor performance until peak performance can be achieved with a voltmeter.

Suggestion: clean all optical sensors prior to adjustment as dust and debris will adversely effect their performance.
