Setting Printhead Support
When printing narrow labels, the printhead may come into contact with the
print roller where there is no material. This can lead to premature wear of the
printhead and to different print intensity between the two edges of the label.
¯
When using narrow labels, enable the printhead support. Small = material
width < printhead width.
Change the printhead support by using the adjusting wheel (1). Position 0 is
recommended for wide labels.

The adjusting wheel for the printhead support.
1. For narrow labels, turn the adjusting wheel clockwise until the pointer
indicates 1 on the dial. This causes the printhead to be raised at the outside.
2. Print a test print and check for even print quality. If the print quality is still
uneven, turn the adjusting wheel a little further.
3. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until the print quality is the same across the entire width
of the label.
