The M-8400RVe printer determines the location of the leading edge of the label by
measuring the difference between light levels when it sees either a label gap 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
feeding, such as when the backing opacity or the reflectance of the "EYE" mark varies
significantly within a roll of labels or between label rolls. In these instances the value
should be set using the following procedures.
