EYE - When setting the “eye” threshold, the voltage must be measured with nothing but the label under the sensor and then again withthe printed “eye” mark under the sensor. The formula for this is:

(High Voltage Level + Low Voltage Level) x 0.5 = Start Value

1.Insert a label into the sensor and close the Label Hold-Down. Make sure the printed “eye” mark is not under the sensor. Record the voltage shown on the top line of the LCD panel. This line should have the message “EYE” on the top line (DIP switch DSW2-2 = ON).

2.Now pull the label forward until the “eye” mark is positioned under the sensor (the voltage reading should be at its highest point). Record the voltage shown on the top line of the LCD panel. The voltage ranges measured should be within the following ranges:

Label Only = 0.3 to 0.7V

Eye-Mark 1.2V above low value

If the measured values are outside this range, you may have trouble in finding a value that will work properly under all conditions. If this is the case, a higher quality label may be needed to get adequate performance.

3.Calculate the starting point voltage using the formula.

4.Use the LINE key to step the counter to the desired setting. The display will increment one step for each time the LINE key is pressed. If the LINE key is held pressed for more than two seconds, it will automatically go into the fast scroll mode. The reading will advance to a setting of 3.3 (the maximum voltage) after which it will automatically wrap and start at “0.0” again. If a value of “0.0” is set, the printer will automatically set the level each time the printer is powered on with labels loaded or the head is closed.

5.Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and advance to the Online Feed display.

This selection specifies whether or not the printer will automatically feed a blank label when it is placed in the Online mode.

1.Use the LINE key to step the cursor to desired setting. If Yes is selected, the printer will feed a blank label anytime it enters the Online mode. If No is selected, the display will advance to the mode display.

This selection specifies whether or not the printer will feed a blank label automatically when an error condition is cleared..

1.Use the LINE key to step the cursor to desired setting. If Yes is selected, the printer will feed a blank label anytime an error condition is cleared. If No is selected, the display will advance to the mode display.
