so the cables do not interfere with any moving parts.
❑Check that a strap is fitted on both pins of P-6071.
❑Insert the power cord and turn on the power.
❑Adjust the sensitivity of the label-taken sensor by means of the
potentiometer WR-602 on the CPU board:
•StartupFingerprintandruntheprogramdescribedonpage1.
Leave the label in the outfeed slot to create a label-not-taken
condition.
•The printer should start to beep continuously. If not, turn the
potentiometer back and forth until the beeping starts.
•Adjust the potentiometer so the beeping does not stop when
the screw is turned a quarter of a turn in either direction.
•Remove the label. The beeping should cease immediately.
•If necessary, readjust the potentiometer2.
•Break the program by typing Xon the host.
❑When the label-taken sensor works properly, put back the left-
hand cover and close the front hatch and right-hand door. Then
the printer is ready for operation.
1/.InEasyCoder401Linerlessprinters,
the strap is usually fitted on just one of
the pins of P-607. Move the strap so
both pins become interconnected.
2/.Ifadjustmentbymeansofthepotentio-
meter is not sufficient, a strap on P-607
on the CPU board allows the intensity
of the LTS light-emitter to be changed:
Strap fitted: High intensity (default)
No strap: Low intensity
CAUTION!
High Voltage
The LTS must be adjusted with the
poweron.Toavoidtheriskofelectrical
shock or short-circuits, use non-
conductive tools only. Keep your
