1 Use of Media Other Than the Recommended

(Printhead Offset Adjustments - Media Thickness Adjustments)

The printer is already factory-set to the requirements of proper print quality while using the recommended labels. If the print quality is inferior because of the different type of media, adjust the printhead offset in the following manner:

(a) When using standard labels, or thermal media

(1) Looking in at the offset check window, reset the printhead offset so that it comes to the center line (middle of the three lines) by turning the offset adjustment screw with a screwdriver.

Then turn the offset adjustment screw two to four times counterclockwise with a screwdriver. (Factory setting: two turns.)

(2) Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print.

(b) When using thick media (tags or other media)

(1) Looking in at the offset check window, reset the printhead offset so that it comes to the center line (middle of the three lines) by turning the offset adjustment screw with a screwdriver.

(2) Then turn the offset adjustment screw two to four times clockwise with a screwdriver.

(3) Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print.
