1st dot adjust

Dot Adjustment:30

First Dot Adjustment C10

When the I.V./700 has not printed for several minutes, the first dots printed in a message can be too small. You can

prevent these initial small dots with First Dot Adjustment, which increases the dot sizes only on the first print. Dots in the

second and all subsequent messages return to their defined dot-size settings, depending on the dot-size you choose.

First dot adjustments are made at the factory but may require fine-tuning.

Adjusting the first dot size requires a menu that is available only after a special initialization. Start by unplugging the

I.V./700.

1 Press and hold ALT+INFORMATION.

2 Plug in the barrel connector.

3 Release the keys when the LCD shows

“Information.”

4 Press SET-UP

5 Press K on the QWERTY keypad. The LCD

will prompt for the time in seconds that the

printer will stand idle.”

6 Type in the amount of time and press

ENTER.

7 The LCD will show “1st Dot Adjust:1” for the

first valve (dot) at the top of the printhead.

Press ENTER.

The second line of the LCD will prompt for “Dot Adjustment.” If this dot is small in the sample print (see the first

sample below), increase the value by 10 which increases the size of the dot for the first print.

If the dot was full-size, DO NOT enter a new value: leave the existing value and press ENTER

8 The display will change to “1st Dot Adjust:2” for the second valve. Press ENTER and the second line will prompt for

“Dot Adjustment.” Repeat this process through all seven dots.

9 After the seventh dot, press SET-UP. The LCD will prompt for “Factory Setting.” Select “2-YES.”

Wait the time designated in step 5, then print a message. If the print is satisfactory, unplug and replug to set the

I.V./700 in print mode. If the print is unsatisfactory reset the first dot by repeating this procedure (C8) and run

another sample. Repeat until you achieve a satisfactory first print.

The scans following show examples of first prints with a problem fourth dot.
