Adjusting the Print Bias for Print Quality
Adjust the bias with a straight-slot screwdriver if the printhead is not making
even contact with the media. Using different width media, especially narrow
media, can result in uneven contact or a spot where there is no media between
the printhead and the platen roller. Extra wear and damage can occur if narrow
media is used for extended periods with incorrect bias.
To adjust the bias adjust screw
1. Remove the media cover and locate the bias adjust screw.
