The printer uses a variety of supply widths and thicknesses. The printer is factory set using a standard full-width supply. The printhead has a leveling knob adjustment to ensure even print quality. The knob raises and lowers the right side of the printhead to keep the printhead level across the supply. When out of alignment, print along one side of the label is missing. The print drops off suddenly, rather than gradually fading out.

If you are experiencing ribbon wrinkling problems, make

sure the printhead knob is properly adjusted.

The knob is numbered for convenience and does not relate to specific supply sizes. Turn the knob one click at a time until the desired print quality is achieved.

The printhead must be open in order for you to turn the

printhead knob.
