A Thumbwheel on the side of the Printhead Carrier Assembly allows the printhead to be adjusted for various
sizes of media. When adjusting for narrow media move the Thumbwheel to the left (clockwise); conversely,
when adjusting for wide media move it to the right (counterclockwise).

The numbers on the Thumbwheel are for reference only and do not correspond to specific media
widths.
To perform a media width adjustment, proceed as follows:
1. Load media into the printer. Print a label (press the
F1 + F2
buttons simultaneously) and examine it.
2. If the printing appears too light on the right-hand side of the label (see example below), then move the
Thumbwheel counterclockwise. Print another label and examine it; make additional adjustments as
necessary.
If the printing is light on
the right side of a label,
make a counterclockwise
adjustment with the
Thumbwheel.

Movement

If the media begins tracking too far to the right while printing, the Thumbwheel should be adjusted to
the clockwise.
