The printer is already factory-set to the value of media width: 112 mm (4.4 in). When you use narrow media, adjust the printhead pressure in the following:

1.Looking in at the check window on the upper frame, align the mark (the left end of white plastic) with the width of media by turning the printhead pressure adjustment knob. (The printhead must be closed.)

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

(a)When the print on right side is too light:

Move the mark (white) to the right side by turning the printhead pressure adjustment knob clockwise.

(b)When the print on the left side is too light:

Move the mark to the left side by turning the printhead pressure adjustment knob counterclockwise.
