Potentiometer Adjustments - SATO M-8400RV Operator And Technical Reference Manual

POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS

PITCH
After the pitch has been set, it is sometimes desirable to make minor adjustments.
This can be done using the PITCH potentiometer on the front 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 pitch. Turning the potentiometer all the
way clockwise should move the print position 3.75 mm up towards the top edge of
the label. Turning it all the way counterclockwise should move the print position
down 3.75 mm.
1. While depressing the LINE key on the front panel, power the printer on.
2. When you hear one beep from the printer, release the LINE key and the printer
will begin printing Test Labels continuously.
3. Select the a Large or Small label width using the LCD display lanel and the LINE
key. If Small is selected, you must also set the appropriate width. See Page 2-31,
"Print Size."
4. Adjust the PITCH 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 front panel display.
5. Press the FEED key to stop the printer.
Adjusting the PITCH potentiometer will affect the stop position of the label and the
cut/dispense/tear-off position.
