Chapter 13 Adjustments
Label Stop
Sensor, cont.
104
Ticket (w gaps), Fix Length Strip, and Var. Length Strip,
cont.
In case of tickets, move the media so the gap becomes situated above
the sensor. In case of strip, remove the media completely.
In both cases, the cursor should move to the left side of
the menu:
LABEL <103>
If the cursor is not situated correctly, the LSS must be adjusted.
• The LSS emitter can be set to a value between 0 and 127.
With the printhead lifted, press <Print>. Each time you press
<Print> the value will be increased by 8 steps in an endless
loop (0-7-15-23-31.........-119-127-0-7.......) Keep trying until you
fi nd the right level.
• When the adjustment looks right, lower and lift the printhead.
This will produce a TESTFEED, that is, it will allow the
printer feed out one label, ticket, tag, or piece of strip in order
to adjust itself and to allow you to check that the media feed
works correctly. At least two TESTFEEDs should be produced
before you go on.
• If you cannot make the LSS work correctly by following the
instructions above, you may–as a last resort–need to adjust the
potentiometer on the CPU board, see Appendix 3. Read the
instructions carefully before starting, since you will be working in
a part of the printer with live high-voltage components!
• Try different combinations of potentiometer settings and LSS
levels until the cursor is positioned correctly.
• When you are satisfi ed that the LSS is set up correctly, lower the
printhead and press <Print>. That will set the LSS and take you to
the part where you can view all setup parameters.
• To exit to the main part of the Intermec Shell Standard program,
lift the printhead and press <Print>.
