Datamax PE manual Example of the Media Width Adjustment

5.2Media Width Adjustment

The printer is able to use a wide variety of media types, widths and thickness. The printhead mechanism has a feature that allows the user to make a leveling adjustment. This adjustment is required when using labels that are less than 4” wide.

Figure 5-1 Adjusting Media Width

Load the Printer with the chosen media. Begin printing your label format. Rotate the Head Level Adjustment Knob, (see Figure 5-1) clockwise until the print quality along edge starts to lighten. Finally, rotate the knob back just enough to achieve uniform print quality across the label, see below.
