Chapter 4 Media (Paper) and Ribbon

4.5 Printhead pressure adjustments

The paper width for this printer is 19-115 mm (0.75-4.53 in). When a narrow width of paper or thick media is used, the printhead pressure across the print area is not even so poor print quality etc may occur.

Before making adjustments, the paper must be loaded and the printhead block be lowered and locked. If the ribbon is loaded, the front bobbin should be removed and laid down in front of the printer.

When using paper with a width of 115 mm (4.53 in) the standard printhead pressure position is about 1 mm (0.039 in) above the bottom of the gauge pointed out by the printhead pressure pointer. When narrow-width paper is used, reduce the printhead pressure on the no paper section by turning the printhead pressure knob counterclockwise. When making printhead pressure adjustments, check the paper width, paper thickness, and presence/absence of a ribbon.
