POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS

P
ITCH
After the pitch has been set with the LCD Control Panel, it is sometimes desirable to make minor
adjustments. This can be done using the PITCH potentiometer on the top 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.
NOTE: Adjusting the PITCH potentiometer will affect the stop position of the
label.
1. Press and hold the FEED key while switching the power switch on.
2. Release the FEED key upon hearing a beep from the printer.
