6.4 Adjusting the Print Head

Adjusting Print Head Position

Note:

These adjustments are only necessary when changing to media with different thickness or width. The pictures shown describe an MP Nova4 DT. The process works the same for all MP Nova printers.

Changing the position of the adjustment screws can be necessary if the labels are very narrow

1. Check that the printer is turned off. Open the cover and fold the handle.

2. Loosen the upper nut of the adjustment screw you want to move by turning it counter- clockwise.

3. Slide the adjustment screw into a new position and tighten the upper nut. Pull the handle if sliding the adjustment screw past the finger nut.

4. Note: When tightening the upper nut. Make sure it is pressing the sliding rail against the bottom of the notch and not against the lower nut.

5. The adjustment screws should make the print head press evenly onto the media. Make test prints to find the correct positions.
