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 DSW2-2 is 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 DSW2-2 is 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
