Adjusting the Print Bias for Print Quality

Adjust the bias with a straight-slot screwdriver if the printhead is not making even contact with the media. Using different width media, especially narrow media, can result in uneven contact or a spot where there is no media between the printhead and the platen roller. Extra wear and damage can occur if narrow media is used for extended periods with incorrect bias.
