S Platen Gap

This adjustment is to be seen as a correctional offset to the platen gap set by
the AGC (Automatic Gap Control) function or a PCC (Programmable Copy
Control) command. It effects all paper paths.
The offset is within the range of -3 to +4. One step is equal to 18 µm.
"-" reduces the gap, "+" increases it.
This setting should only be changed in exceptional case. The optimum
Note:
setting of the platen gap will be done automatically by the AGC or PCC

S AGC Adjust

This is a basic adjustment which is automatically performed at the initial
Power On of the printer, and which thereafter only needs to be initiated after
having exchanged the print head or the platen. It is essential that the ink
ribbon is installed and no paper is in the printer when this procedure is
started. After activating this procedure, the printer displays
INSTALL RIBBON. If the ribbon is installed press
S PAPER-IN ADJ (Paper-In-Sensor adjustment)
This parameter logically adjusts the base position of the Run-In-Sensor. The
factory set value is such that the default is set to compensate specific
mechanical tolerances. The adjustment range is from -3 to +4 in / " steps
(0.42 mm), where "-" means an upward movement and "+" a downward
movement. When implemented, the adjustment applies to all paper paths.

S CUT. V-POS LO. / CUT. V-POS UP. (Vertical Positioning for Cutting Device
for the printer with cutter or for the tear off edge on the printer without
cutter)
This can be set differently for each paper source (lower and upper tractor)
and is meant to be a corrective parameter to meet variations in paper size
and pre-printed material.

The parameter covers a range of - / " to + / " of an inch, where "-" is up
the page and "+" is further down the page. The default value is zero.
If, for some reason, it is not desired to cut exactly on the perforation it is
Note:
very important to cut below the perforation of the printed page. If the
paper is cut above the perforation the remaining paper can easily bend
and cause a paper jam. Do not cut through a label as the blad would get
dirty by the glue.
