Potentiometer Adjustments - SATO XL400 Operator And Technical Reference Manual

POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS

There are four potentiometer adjustments located on the Control panel underneath a
protective cover at the rear of the printer. They are accessible by loosening the screw
and removing the cover.
Print Position (Pitch Offset)
After the pitch has been set with the LCD panel, it is sometimes desirable to make
minor adjustments. This can be done using the PRINT POSITION potentiometer on
the control panel. This potentiometer is set at the factory so that it has a range of +/-
3.75 mm. The midpoint setting should have no effect on the print position. Turning
the potentiometer all the way counterclockwise should move the print position 3.75
mm towards the leading edge of the tag or label. Turning it all the way clockwise
should move the print position away from the leading edge 3.75 mm. This
adjustment is best made while printing the actual tags or labels.
Adjust the PRINT POSITION potentiometer on the front panel until the first print
position is at the desired location on the label. If the potentiometer does not have
enough range, then you will have to change the pitch setting using the LCD panel
display. (see page 3-14)
Adjusting the PRINT POSITION potentiometer will not affect the stop position of
the label and the cut/tear-off position, it only affects the print position.
