unless directed by a technician.)

Erase Heat Offset

Adjust the Erase temperature for the rewriteable cards as

needed.

• Increase the Current Setting to cause more heat to

be used in the erasing process.

• Decrease the Current Setting to cause less heat to be

used in the erasing process.

(Note: Erase Temp Offset provides user ability to control

the Printhead heat level when the Erase Operation is

performed. Appropriate heat levels should be applied for

the proper erase process. This setting should be adjusted

for proper erasure.)
