Chapter 4 Media (Paper) and Ribbon

4.5 Printhead adjustments

The printhead adjustments should be made according to the type of media (paper), using a printhead adjustment lever located on the back of the printhead assembly.

Generally, for the media with medium stiffness like labels, position the printhead adjustment lever to the middle of the range to put the printhead in middle position, and for the media with large stiffness like tags, lower the adjustment lever to the lower level to put the printhead in forward position, and for the media with small stiffness, raise the adjustment lever to the upper level to put the printhead in backward position so that an even, constant print quality can be obtained.
