4.10 POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS
PITCH OFFSET
This can be done using the VR1 potentiometer on the Configuration Panel. This potentiometer is set at
the factory so that it has a range of +/- 0.15” (3.75 mm). The midpoint setting should have no effect on
the label pitch. Turning the potentiometer all the way clockwise should move the print position 0.15”
(3.75 mm) upward toward the leading edge of the label. Turning the it all the way counterclockwise
should move the print position down 0.15” (3.75 mm) away from the leading edge of the label.
1. Place DSW6 on the Configuration Switch in the OFF
position.
2. Turn the power OFF.
3. While pressing the FEED button on the Operator
Panel, turn the power ON.
4. When you hear one beep from the printer, release
the FEED button.
5. Press the LINE button to begin printing large Test
Labels (press the FEED button if you are using
labels smaller than 4.1" (104 mm) in width).
6. Adjust potentiometer VR1 until the first print posi-
tion is at the desired location on the label.
7. Press the FEED button to stop printing.
Note:
Adjusting the Label Pitch with VR1 will affect the
stop position of the label and the cut/tear-off posi-
tions.
