2.13 Threshold Setting
(Cont.)
When using the Black Mark Sensor
(1) While “<5>SENSOR ADJ.” is displayed, press the
[PAUSE]
key
until the message appears.
The displayed value is a real-time voltage being detected by the Black
Mark Sensor.
(2)
Measure a voltage at a blank part of media and a black mark,
respectively. At this time, write down the midpoint between both
voltages. (This value is used later for a threshold setting.)
(Example)
Print area = 4.8V, Black mark = 2.4V
Midpoint = 3.6V
(3) Press and hold the
[RESTART]
or
[FEED]
key for about 3 seconds
aligning a blank part of print area with the Black Mark Sensor.
(4) When storing a “media level” voltage is completed, an asterisk “*”is
displayed on the right side of a voltage. Press the
[PAUSE]
key.
(5) A real-time voltage being detected by the Feed Gap Sensor is
displayed.
When using the Feed Gap Sensor
(1)Measure a voltage at a blank part of label and a label gap, respectively.
At this time, write down the midpoint of both voltages. (This value is
used later for a threshold setting.)
(Example)
Print area = 2.4V, Gap = 4.0V
Midpoint = 3.2V
(2) Press and hold the
[RESTART]
or
[FEED]
key for about 3 seconds
aligning a blank part of print area with the Feed Gap Sensor.
(3) When storing a “media level” voltage is completed, an asterisk “*”is
displayed on the right side of a voltage. Press the
[PAUSE]
key.
(4) The display changes as shown on the left.
NOTES:
1. When measuring a voltage of a blank area, be careful not to align a
pre-print with the sensor by mistake.
2. Confirm that there is at least 0.7V difference between the two values.
If the difference in voltage is less than 0.7V, a print start position
cannot be detected. In that case, please consider changing the media
type.
3. Make sure that the Top Cover is closed when measuring the voltages.
