This potentiometer is used to adjust the darkness/lightness of your printer output.
Slowly turn the potentiometer counterclock wise to lighten or clockwise to darken.
Offset
When the printer is in the dispenser mode, (dip switch setting, page 2-15) the Feed
Offset is used to correctly position the label for dispensing/cutting. Once the correct
Feed Offset is obtained, the printer will position the label for dispensing/cutting and
then reposition the next label before printing.
The amount of backfeed is controlled by the OFFSET potentiometer on the front
panel. When turned all the way clockwise, the amount of backfeed adjustment is
+3.75 mm and -3.75 mm when it is turned all the way counterclockwise.

control panel and feed another label by depressing the FEED key.
