Section 8: Adjustment Procedures

NOTE: Figure 10-1 of the Diagrams & Schematics section provides guidance on housing cover installation.

LABEL GAP SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

This adjustment will require the use of a multimeter and the TP Test Module. The label-gap sensor may also be adjusted via the Service Mode.

NOTE: Figure 10-4, Block Diagram, Figure 10-5, Accessories & Sensors Location; and Figure 10-6, Print Position Reference Diagram of the Diagrams & Schematics section provide additional instruction.

1 Remove the top, front, and left housing cover to access main circuit board (1, Figure 8-8).

NOTE: Figure 10-1 of the Diagrams & Schematics section provides guidance on housing cover removal.

2 Turn VR6 potentiometer (2) fully counter-clockwise.

NOTE: An audible click should be heard.

3 Connect test module (3) to main circuit board connector (4).

NOTE: Refer to TP Test Module Usage in the TRoubleshooting section for additional instruction on test module usage.

4Turn dial (5) on test module (3) to position number 5.

5Connect the positive (+) probe of the multimeter to pin SIG (6) on test module (3).

6Connect the negative (-) probe of the multimeter to pin GRD (7) on test module (3).

7Ensure the multimeter is for DC voltage reading.

8Place the label backing only in position to be read by the sensor.

9Adjust VR6 potentiometer (2) so that the multimeter value is less than 0.5 volts.

10 Replace the label backing with a label in position to be read by the sensor.

11Observe the multimeter for a value of +1.0 volts more than the prior value read.

12 Repeat steps 8 through 11 until the value is 1.0 volts.

13 Test print labels to ensure proper function.

14 Disconnect test module (3) from main circuit board (1).

15 Disconnect test module (3) from main circuit board (1) and replace housing covers.

NOTE: Figure 10-1 of the Diagrams & Schematics section provides guidance on housing cover installation.
