SATO M-8400RV manual Sensor Threshold Level

Section 2. Installation and Configuration

3.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 the maximum setting (the maximum Horizontal Offset is 832) after which it will automatically wrap and start at “000” again. The Horizontal Direction set in the previous step will be displayed in front of the Offset setting.

Note: The M-8400RV printer will not “wrap” images that extend beyond the print area. Any part of the image that extends beyond the print area will be truncated.

4.Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and advance to the Sensor Threshold display.

Sensor Threshold Level

The M-8400RV printer determines the location of the leading edge of the label by measuring the difference between light levels when it sees either a label edge or a black “EYE” mark. This adjustment allows you to manually set the threshold voltage level, between the maximum and minimum light levels. DIP switch DSW2-2 selects the sensor type. If DSW2-2is in the OFF position, the setting will be for a See-Thru (or Gap) sensor and the LCD will display “GAP” on the top line along with the current setting. If DSW2-2is in the ON position, the LCD will display “EYE” on the top line with its current setting. If the value entered for the bottom line setting is “0.0V”, then the printer will automatically calculate the setting when the first label is fed after the printer is powered on or the head is closed. There are some instances where the automatically calculated value must be adjusted to ensure reliable label
