—Trigger these optics by blocking
them with an opaque object.

Tests 3 and 4
—Push straight down on the beam head to perform
these two tests.
•
Tests 15 and 16
—Lift the main plate and slowly turn the input and
output orbital motors in one direction to trigger these optics.
•
Test 17
—Push the beam slowly to your right. As it gets close to the
end of its travel, the optic is triggered.
•
Test 18
—Remove the label liner from in front of this optic.
•
Tests 19 through 21
—These optics check the operation of the
microswitches on the three tube holders. Insert a tube in each to test
the switches.

Adjusting the ADC (Label
Detecting) Optic on the Dot
Matrix Printer
You may need to adjust the ADC optic if you have trouble with label
calibration, label position, or location of printed text, especially if you
have just changed labels.
To adjust the ADC value, select OPTIC TEST from the DIAGNOSTIC
MENU and load labels. Locate the ADC optic (see Figure 5-13) and
ensure that a label is blocking the optic’s beam to ensure the maximum
ADC optic value.
The 2500 should display:
If a label is not blocking the ADC optic, slowly turn the label advance
knob counterclockwise to advance the liner. The value on the display
fluctuates until the label blocks the optic and the highest value appears.
Do not begin the adjustment procedure until you are certain that a label is
blocking the optic.
If the ADC value does not reach 200, from the Optics diagnostics menu
press
LOWER CASE
+
A
, and then press
↑
or
↓
until the displayed value
reaches 200.
Turn the label advance knob until the ADC optic reads only the liner.
This should read between 120 to 170 if the liner is translucent. The liner
reading is variable, so there is no adjustment for it.
Return to the Main Menu by pressing
RESET
. Press
CAL
to have the 2500
run a label calibration to adjust to the new setting.

Adjusting the ADC Optic
on the Thermal Printer
The ADC optic detects the leading edge of the label on the liner. When
using Auto ADC), the software calculates an ADC value and no manual
adjustment is required for variations in batches of labels. Auto ADC
turns on the ADC optic and reads the amount of light passing through
the label and liner to establish a reference level of light. When the ADC
optic detects a light level above that reference value, the 2500 assumes
that it is detecting a gap between labels where only the liner is blocking
the optic’s light beam.
You can manually check and adjust the ADC value using the 2500’s
Diagnostic tests. You may need to manually adjust the ADC optic if you
have trouble with label calibration, label position on the device, or
location of printed text on the label.
