3. Calculate the starting point voltage using the formula.
4. Use the START/STOP key to step the counter to the desired setting. The display will
increment one step for each time the Start/Stop key is pressed. If the
START/STOP key is held pressed for more than two seconds, it will automatically
go into the fast scroll mode. The reading will advance to a setting of 4.9 (the
maximum voltage) after which it will automatically wrap and start at “0.0” again. If a
value of “0.0” is set, the printer will automatically set the level half way between the
two measured voltages each time the printer is powered on with labels loaded.
5. Repeat this procedure using values slightly higher or lower until the optimum
performance is obtained. If you cannot find a setting between the high and low
readings that gives adequate performance, then the label stock has too much
variation in its opacity and a better quality stock should be used.
6. Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will advance to the next display.
I-Mark - When setting the “I-Mark” threshold, the voltage must be measured with
nothing but the label or tag under the sensor and then again with the printed I-Mark
under the sensor. The smaller value is added to the larger and the result multiplied
by 0.5 . This is the starting point to be used. The formula for this is:
(High Voltage Level + Low Voltage Level) x 0.5 = Start Value
1. Insert a label or tag into the sensor (see Section 4: Cleaning and Maintenance for
location of the sensors) and close the Media Hold Down. Make sure the printed
I-Mark is not under the sensor. Record the voltage shown on the top line of the LCD
panel. This line should have the message “I-Mark” on the top line.
2. Now pull the label or tag forward until the I-Mark is positioned under the sensor (the
voltage reading should be at its highest point). Record the voltage shown on the top
line of the LCD panel. The voltage ranges measured should be within the following
ranges:
Label or Tag Only I- Mark
Less than 1.0V 2.5V to 3.5V
If the measured values are outside this range, you may have trouble in finding a value
that will work properly under all conditions. If this is the case, a higher quality label
may be needed to get adequate performance.
