3.2Media Width Adjustment

The Thumbwheel on the side of the Printhead Carrier allows the Printhead to be adjusted for media narrower than the width of the Printhead. The numbers on the Thumbwheel do not correspond to a particular media width but serve only as a reference point.

Figure 3-2 Adjusting Media Width

1.Load the Printer with the chosen media.

2.Begin printing labels. The internal Test Pattern Label can be used or any other label sent from the Host.

3.Rotate the Thumbwheel left until the print quality along edge starts to lighten.

4.Then rotate the Thumbwheel right just enough to achieve uniform print quality across the label.
