2.2 Printhead Adjustments
To ensure even and consistent print quality across a wide range of media types and sizes, the
printhead is adjustable.
2.2.1 Leveling Cam Adjustment
The Leveling Cam ensures that even pressure is maintained across the label. Whenever using media
that is less than the full width of the platen, proceed as follows:
1. Load the printer with media. Download a label format or choose a Quick Test Label and begin
printing.
2. While observing the right side of the label, rotate the Leveling Cam clockwise, or counter-
clockwise, until even print is achieved across the width of the label (see examples below).
