3.3Fine Printhead Adjustment

An Allen set screw is located on top of the Printhead Carrier Assembly that can be adjusted for controlling 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).
