Section 8: Adjustment Procedures
PITCH SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
Pitch sensor adjustment is used to set the top of the form (leading edge). This adjustment is a straight forward or backward motion and does not affect lateral movement or skewed images.
For almost all applications, the VR3 potentiometer with an adjustment range of +/- 3.75mm, will be sufficient. However, use of the VR9 potentiometer will provide additional adjustment range. The VR9 potentiometer is located on the face of the main circuit board and will require the removal of the left housing cover to gain access.
CAUTION: VR9 POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENT WILL AFFECT ALL
LABELS AND WILL REQUIRE RESETTING. TYPICALLY, THIS
ADJUSTMENT IS USED TO FINELY MANUEUVER TEXT OR IMAGES
INTO TIGHT LOCATIONS.
NOTE: Ensure all other print quality issues are resolved prior to making this adjustment.
NOTE: Figure
1Record all dip switch positions and then switch each to the Off position.
2 Turn the dial of the PITCH (VR3) potentiometer midway of the scale.
NOTE: The PITCH (VR3) potentiometer is located on the operator panel. The operator panel is located on the upper surface of the left housing cover.
