NOTICE!
After adjusting parallelism and no even strong pressure
exists over the complete print width, by means of a plate (E)
you can set the balance.

Loosen screw (D) with a screwdriver by approx. ¼ rotations.

In order to achieve a pressure balance, turn the eccentric bolt (H)
as long as the printing result comes up to your full expectation.

Tighten again screw (D).

Start a print order with approx. 10 labels and control the correct
passage of transfer ribbon.
Adjusting Printhead - Pressure
NOTICE!
Change the head contact pressure with the screws (A) at the inside and outside of the printhead. Increasing the head
contact pressure leads to an improvement of the print image density on the corresponding side and to a shifting of the
ribbon feed path in the corresponding direction.

CAUTION!
Damage of printhead by unequal use!

Change factory settings only in exceptional cases.
The selection of the smallest value can optimise the life cycle of
printhead.

Turn the pressure screws (A) to change the pressure of
printhead.

Turning of pressure screws (A) as far as they will go in clockwise
direction results in a pressure increase of 10N in contrast to the
factory settinsg.

Turning of pressure screws (A) exactly one rotation from the right
stop position counter clockwise results in the factory settings.
NOTICE!
It is importantly that the knurled button which is coated with protective lacquer is not removed from the pressure screw
as otherwise the above mentioned settings are faulty.
