3.6 Print Head Offset Adjustments
CAUTION Ensure the print head offset adjustments are made properly according to the type of print media (thickness & width). Incorrect adjustments can cause failure of the print head.
The printer has already been factory set with labels 118 mm in width. However, the print head offset adjustments may be needed depending on the width of the paper and the paper quality. If the print quality is inferior because of the paper, adjust it according to the following:

Adjust the offset between the print head and the platen by turning the offset adjustment screw. The print head offset adjustments are made by changing the inclination of the print head to the platen. This has already been factory set, but the offset may need changing if the print head was replaced or disassembled. Also, it may need changing if a different type of paper was used. In those cases, make adjustments according to the criteria below.
a)Standard paper, label paper (slick paper, craft paper, etc.), and thermal paper
