5.2 Media Width Adjustment
The printer is able to use a wide variety of media types, widths and
thickness. The printhead mechanism has a feature that allows the
user to make a leveling adjustment. This adjustment is required
when using labels that are less than 4” wide.
Figure 5-1 Adjusting Media Width
Load the Printer with the chosen media. Begin printing your label
format. Rotate the Head Level Adjustment Knob, (see Figure 5-1)
clockwise until the print quality along edge starts to lighten. Finally,
rotate the knob back just enough to achieve uniform print quality
across the label, see below.
