POTENTIOMETER	DESCRIPTION/PROCEDURE
DARKNESS (VR1)	Is used to adjust the darkness or lightness of the printed image
	and should be used in conjunction with the configuration
	adjustments. Make course adjustments there and then fine tune
	here. If unable to achieve the desired setting here, the course
	adjustment must be reset.

	labels to be printed for each adjustment to ensure a desired
	setting.
CUT POSITION (VR2)	The offset adjustment is used to reposition the media for
	printing following advancement for cutting and dispensing. A
	label is printed, it is fed forward for dispense, the printer retracts
	the remaining media (offset) to print the next label.
PRINT POSITION (VR3)	Is to be used in conjunction with the configuration adjustments.
	Make course adjustments there and then fine tune here. If
	unable to achieve the desired setting here, the course
	adjustment must be reset. Adjust this potentiometer as labels

	adjustment to ensure a desired setting.
	Adjustment of the Print Position potentiometer will affect the
	print offset postion. Thusly, if using a dispenser or cutter, adjust
	the Cut Position first and then the Print Position.
