5.2Media Width Adjustment

A Thumbwheel on the side of the Printhead Carrier Assembly allows the printhead to be adjusted for various sizes of media. When adjusting for narrow media move the Thumbwheel to the left (clockwise); conversely, when adjusting for wide media move it to the right (counterclockwise).

;Note: The numbers on the Thumbwheel are for reference only and do not correspond to specific media widths.

To perform the media width adjustment:

1. Load media into the printer. Print a label (press the + buttons simultaneously) and examine it.

2. If the printing appears too light on the right-hand side of the label (see example below), then move the Thumbwheel to the right (counterclockwise). Print another label and examine it, making additional adjustments as necessary.

The light print on the right side of this Dot Check Label indicates that the Thumbwheel should be adjusted to the right.
