1.9.2 Media Width Adjustment

The thumbwheel on the side of the printhead carrier assembly allows the printhead to be adjusted for various sizes of media. The numbers on the thumbwheel serve only as a reference point and do not correspond with a particular media width.

1. Load media into the printer.

2. Print a label, if it is light on the right-hand side then move the thumbwheel to the right, (see example below).

3. An internal test label can be generated by holding the ‘feed’ button down and turning ‘on’ the power switch until the media moves. The first label printed is the configuration label which provides information on the printer set-up. The second label printed is the test pattern and shows print quality, (see Section 1.10 for additional information).
