Contrast; Paper Sensor; Testfeed - Intermec EasyCoder PX6i User Manual

Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer

Contrast

Use the contrast parameter to make minor adjustments of the blackness
in the printout, for example to adapt the printer to variations in quality
between different batches of the same media. 11 options are displayed in
an endless loop from -10% to +10%. Default value is +0%. The contrast
is reset to the default whenever a new paper type is specifi ed, regardless
which method has been used.

Paper Sensor

The Paper Sensor parameter is read-only. By pressing the <Enter> key,
the paper sensor is automatically adjusted.
The Low Diameter parameter specifi es the diameter of the media supply
roll, where SYSVAR(46) switches from 0 to 1. SYSVAR(46) = 0 means
that there is still a suffi cient supply of media, whereas SYSVAR(46) = 1
initiates error 1084 "Paper low". The diameter is expressed in millimeters
(1 mm = 0.04 in.). Default value is 0 (mm) and the maximum value is
200 (mm).

Testfeed

The sensitivity of the label stop sensor (LSS) may need to be adjusted
when switching from one type of media to another. This is especially
the case when using adhesive labels since the transparency of the liner
(backing paper) may vary. When the Testfeed menu is displayed, press
the <Enter> key. A number of blank copies will be fed out until the
fi rmware has decided the proper setting for the LSS. At the same time,
the front edges of the labels, tickets, etc. are detected so the feed control
can position the media according to the Feedadjust parameter (same as
the Intermec Fingerprint statement TESTFEED). Four values used for
troubleshooting the LSS are displayed (read-only information).
