Displays the firmware during the initialization.
The Service Mode is entered from the Advanced Mode display by pressing the
right 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 printer determines the location of the leading edge of the label by
measuring the difference between light levels when it sees either a label edge
or a black "EYE" mark. This adjustment allows the threshold voltage level to
be manually set 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.
