POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS ALL MODELS

PITCH

After the pitch has been set, it is sometimes desirable to make minor adjustments. This can be done using the PITCH potentiometer on the front panel. This potentiometer is set at the factory so that it has a range of +/- 3.75 mm. The midpoint setting should have no effect on the pitch. Turning the potentiometer all the way clockwise should move the print position 3.75 mm up towards the top edge of the label. Turning it all the way counterclockwise should move the print position down 3.75 mm.

1.While depressing the LINE key on the front panel, power the printer on.

2.When you hear one beep from the printer, release the LINE key and the printer will begin printing Test Labels continuously.

3.Select the a Large or Small label width using the LCD display lanel and the LINE key. If Small is selected, you must also set the appropriate width. See page 2-39, “Print Size.”

4.Adjust the PITCH potentiometer on the front panel until the first print position is at the desired location on the label. If the potentiometer does not have enough range, then you will have to change the pitch setting using the front panel display.

5.Press the FEED key to stop the printer.

Adjusting the PITCH potentiometer will affect the stop position of the label and the cut/dispense/tear-off position.
