
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 influences all paper
paths.
The offset is within the range of -3 to +4. One step is equal to 18 :m. "-" reduces the gap, "+"
increases it.

AGC ADJUST
This is a basic adjustment which is automatically performed at the initial Power On of the printer,
and which there after 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

PAPIER-IN ADJ.
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
1
from -3 to +4 in ( /

(0.42 mm), where "-" means an upward movement and "+" a downward movement. When
implemented, the adjustment applies to all paper paths

TEAROFF V-POS
This parameter can be used to compensate mechanical tolerances which may cause a misalignment
between the perforation edge of a continuous form and the tear-off position as well as the cutting
position, in case the cutting option is installed.
If no cutting device is mounted the value of CUTTING V-POS will influence the TEAR-OFF Position.
The range within which variations can be met is -
down the page.
The following table shows the possible values in inches and millimeters.
If, for some reason, it is not desired to cut exactly on the perforation, it is very important to
Note:
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 blade
would get dirty by the glue.
