5.2Media Width Adjustment

When printing on less than full width media, the printer has a printhead-leveling cam to adjust the right side of the printhead for even pressure distribution. To adjust the leveling cam:

1.With media loaded in the printer, print a label (press the

FEED + CANCEL buttons simultaneously) and examine it..

2.While observing the printed labels, loosen the Thumbscrew and move it to the left most position. (see Example 1, below).

3.Next, move the Thumbscrew to the right until the printed labels contain a complete, even image (see Example 2). Tighten the Thumbscrew.

When changing to a different width of label, readjust the Leveling Cam.

Example 1 – Over adjustment:

Too much adjustment produces an image that fades across the label. To correct this, move the Thumbscrew to the right.

Example 2 – Correct adjustment:

The proper adjustment produces a complete image with even print contrast across the label (see note below).

;Note: Under-adjustment of the Leveling Cam: Problems can include ribbon wrinkling, label tracking, and platen roller and printhead wear.
