3.7 Head Pressure Adjustments
The printer has already been factory-set with the label width of 118 mm. When
using paper with a different width, adjust the head pressure in the following way:
a) Look through the verification window on the upper frame, adjust the mark to
the value in mm that represents the width of the label by turning the head
pressure adjustment screw.
b) Make further adjustments after sampling the print image.
(1) When the print on the right side is too light:
Turn the head pressure adjustment screw clockwise to move the mark
(white) to the right.
(2) When the print on the left side is too light:
Turn the head pressure adjustment screw counterclockwise to move the
mark (white) to the left.
These adjustments are useful for preventing ribbon wrinkle and paper skewing.
For more details, consult our service personnel.
