Printhead Balance Adjustment
The printer is factory-adjusted for full-size media width. When using
media less than full width, it is recommended that you adjust the posi-
tion of the printhead balance boxes so the printhead gets an even pressure
across the media.
A poorly adjusted printhead pressure may be detected by a weaker print-
out on either side of the media path.
To adjust the pressure, proceed as follows:
1
Open the top cover.
2 Remove the ribbon.
3 Lift the printhead by pulling out the printhead lever and flipping it
counterclockwise a quarter of a turn.
4 Move the balance box on the right side (outer) outward (to the right)
for wider media and inwards (to the left) for more narrow media.
5 Engage the printhead and load the ribbon.
6 Test and readjust if necessary. (Hint! If you use direct thermal media
you will not have to load and remove the ribbon over and over again.)
