6. Operation

6.4 Adjusting the Print Head

6. Note: MP Nova4 DT only.

On the MP Nova4 DT the position of the print head itself can be changed. As default there is a 3 mm non-printable area on the left side. To be able to print all the way to the edge of the label the margin has to be set to 0 mm.

Pull the handle. Loosen the finger nut and slide the print head into position. Tighten the finger nut.

Adjusting Print Head Pressure

7. To increase the pressure on the print head, turn the lower nuts downwards (clockwise). This will tighten the spring.

8. To decrease the pressure on the print head, turn the lower nuts upwards (counter-clockwise).

Note:

To much pressure might damage the print head or make it wear out faster. The pressure should be as light as possible while maintaining high quality printing. Make test prints to find correct pressure.
