The Service Mode is entered from the Advanced Mode display
by pressing the LINE key twice.
The Service Mode display indicates that the printer is in the
Card Mode. To advance to the first selection, press the FEED
key.
The M-8400RVe printer determines the location of the leading
[X.XV]
edge of the label by measuring the difference between light
[X.XV]
levels when it sees either a label edge 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.
