5.2Media Width Adjustment

The thumbwheel on the side of the printhead carrier assembly allows the printhead to be adjusted for various sizes of media. The numbers on the thumbwheel serve only as a reference point and do not correspond with a particular media width. To adjust for narrow media move the Thumbwheel to the left (frontward), for wide media move it to the right (rearward).

1. Load media into the printer.

2. Print a label, if it is light on the right-hand side then move the Thumbwheel to the right (rearward), (see example below).

Light print on the right side of the test label indicates that the Thumbwheel should be adjusted to the right (rearward).

Note: If the media begins tracking to the right while printing the Thumbwheel should be adjusted to the left (forward)
