5.4 Fine Printhead Adjustment

The Fine Printhead Adjustment Set Screw, located on top of the printhead carrier assembly, is used for adjusting print quality. This adjustment is set at the factory and should not need further adjustment; however, with the different types and thickness of media some re-adjustment may be necessary if print quality suffers.

To adjust the printhead, turn the Set Screw until optimum print quality is obtained (some trial and error may be necessary). Do not over tighten the Set Screw.

;Note: If thermal transfer equipped, it is not necessary to remove the Ribbon Handler Assembly; an access hole is provided.
