2. Load the media you will be
printing on and engage the
printhead by rotating the head lift
lever to the DOWN position.
3. Turn the printhead support
adjustment screw clockwise until
the printhead support plate
moves down and contacts the
bearing plate underneath.
4. Tighten the two screws to secure
the printhead support plate to the
printhead mount.
Note: The screws that secure the
printhead support plate to the printhead
mount also secure the ribbon shield.
When you loosen these screws, both the
plate and the ribbon shield may move.
Make sure the ribbon shield is parallel to
the drive roller when you have completed
this adjustment procedure.
Adjusting the Printhead Alignment
The 4100 printer is adjusted at the factory using 4 mil thick label stock. When
using heavier tag stock, you may need to adjust the printhead forward.
Adjust the horizontal position of the printhead by turning the right and left
printhead adjust screws that correspond to the right and left sides of the
printhead. Turning the screws 1/2 turn counterclockwise will move the
printhead .012 inch forward. Conversely, turning the screws 1/2 turn
clockwise moves the printhead backward by the same amount.
Tools Required: Phillips screwdriver, 1/16 inch hex key, and 4100 alignment
plate.
