Reset Service Counter

Access only with service key inserted!
The printer has total and service counters.
• Total counter: The total counter contains the values for the entire service life of the printer up to now. The values of the
total counter are displayed in the Info menu and in the Status print.
• Service counter: The service counter can be reset after more substantial maintenance or repair work with the service
key inserted. Here, it provides information on the printing output since the last reset. The values of the service counter
are displayed in the Status print.
The following data is recorded in both counters:
Data
Operative time
Number of labels
Transfer printing
Thermal printing

10.2 Printhead Zero Position X
Access only with service key inserted!
The purpose of the Printhead zero pos. X setting is to fundamentally align the printing image to the printhead perpendicular to
the printing direction in order to compensate for printhead tolerances.
1. Determine the deviation of the actual from theoretical position of the printing image perpendicular to the printing
direction.
2. Select menu Service > Printhead zero pos. X.
3. Choose a setting that counteracts deviation.
10.3 Printhead Zero Position Y
Access only with service key inserted!
The purpose of the Printhead zero pos. Y setting is to fundamentally align the printing image to the printhead in the printing
direction in order to compensate for printhead tolerances.
1. Determine the deviation of the actual from theoretical position of the printing image in the printing direction.
2. Select menu Service > Printhead zero pos. Y.
