GT Series Operator’s Manual Page 3-7
The volume level of the built-in speaker buzzer can be adjusted at
the first menu of the User Mode. Use the yellow screwdriver to
adjust the VOLUME potentiometer below the LCD. The value on
the screen changes as you turn the screwdriver clockwise or
counter-clockwise.
Next, you can use the screwdriver to rotate the potentiometer for
the Print Pitch. This setting adjusts where printing begins
vertically, relative to the bottom edge (nearest the print head) of
each label. The maximum value allowed is 3.75 mm.
Adjusting the OFFSET potentiometer adjusts the tear-off stop
position for use with a cutter, peeler.
Finally, adjusting the Print Darkness potentiometer adjusts the
print darkness.
When all the settings are satisfactory, press the ENTER button to
proceed to set other parameters in the User Mode.
After setting OFFSET VOLUME, PITCH, OFFSET and
DARKNESS, pressing ENTER takes you to the Print Speed setting.
This setting can be used to achieve a high print speed that does not
compromise print quality.
Press the buttons to change the setting. Press the ENTER
button to confirm a setting and proceed to the next screen.
If quality printing cannot be obtained due to the quality of the paper
or the printing contents, lower the speed accordingly. On the GT408
and GT412, the print speed can be set in 11 steps. On the GT424,
the print speed can be set in five steps in GT424. The table below
shows the factory default print speed for different print resolutions.
