Sensor Trim Pots
Your 656 / 636 printer is equipped with several sensors used to detect the status of
the printer and its supplies. While these sensors are calibrated at the time your
printer is manufactured, there may be times when re-calibration is required. Re
calibration times are indicated in the troubleshooting section.
The following guidelines indicate the proper procedure used to calibrate the sensors.
A voltmeter is highly recommended for this procedure, however the Bank of Lights
will provide an estimation of sensor performance until peak performance can be
achieved with a voltmeter.
Suggestion: clean all optical sensors prior to adjustment as dust and debris will
adversely effect their performance.
