Key operation guide
The calibration result and the threshold voltage are
displayed.
Pressing the [RIGHT] key enables setting a threshold
fine adjustment value.
Pressing the [LEFT] key returns the screen to the
calibration result.
Notes:
(1) When the [PAUSE] key is released within 3 seconds while the printer is paused, the [PAUSE] key is
invalid.
(2) To set the threshold, 1.5 pieces or more label shall be fed. (If the label feed amount is insufficient, the
threshold may not be properly set. In this case, the threshold setting needs to be retried.)
(3) While the print head is lifted, the [PAUSE] key is invalid even if the [PAUSE] key is held down for 3
seconds or more.
(4) When the print position is not corrected even after the threshold is set, the sensor adjustment may be
insufficient. In this case, readjust the sensor in the system mode, and set the threshold.
(When the backing paper of the label is too thick, the transmissive sensor needs to be readjusted.)
In addition, make sure that “3: Transmissive sensor (when using the preprinted label)” or “4: Reflective
sensor (when using a manual threshold value)” is selected for sensor type of the Feed Command and the
Issue Command.
(5) Paper end and ribbon end are not detected during the threshold setting. (The setting continues as long as
the [PAUSE] key is held down even if the printer runs short of media or ribbon.)
(6) The detailed result of the calibration is shown when the [RIGHT] key is pressed while the judgment result
is displayed. The measured sensor level and the currently programmed threshold fine adjustment value
can be checked.
Fine adjustment value = Peak voltage
– Threshold voltage
(7) Pressing the [LEFT] key returns the detailed result to the judgment result display. Pressing the [RIGHT]
key causes the display to go to the threshold fine adjustment screen. This is the same menu with the
threshold fine adjustment menu in section 9.7.4.1 REFLECT (Reflective sensor) or 9.7.4.2 TRANS.
(Transmissive sensor).
(8) After the threshold fine adjustment value is set, the screen returns to the result display.
(9) While the result of fine adjusted threshold setting is shown, pressing the [LEFT] key returns the screen to
the threshold fine adjustment screen and pressing the [RIGHT] key shows the details of the result.
(10) During a threshold setting, the media is fed at the same speed with that for the previous issue.
(11) Whether the threshold setting succeeded or not can be checked with the following methods.
Media feed with the [FEED] key
1) While the judgment result is displayed, press the [FEED] key to terminate the threshold setting.
→ The printer is placed in the pause state.
2) Press the [RESTART] key to clear the pause state.
→ The printer is placed in the online state.
3) Hold down the [MODE] key
→ The printer enters the system mode.
4) Select
“<4>SENSOR” and “THRESHOLD SELECT”.
5) Select the applicable media sensor type (
“REFLECT” or “TRANS.”) and press the [ENTER] key.
→ The selected sensor type menu is shown.
6) Select
“MANUAL THRESHOLD”, press the [ENTER] key, then [MODE] key.
→ The system mode menu is displayed.
7) Turn off the power, and back to on.
→ The printer is placed in the online state.
