3.2 Fine Printhead Adjustment

A fine printhead adjustment set screw is located on top of the printhead carrier assembly that can used for adjusting print quality. This adjustment is set at the factory and should not need further adjusting; however, with different types and thickness of media some adjustment may be necessary.

To adjust the printhead, turn the set screw until optimum print quality is obtained, (some trial and error may be necessary).
