Adjustment
The printer is factory-adjusted for full size paper width. When us-
ing paper less than full width, it is recommended to adjust the print-
head lift arm so it becomes centred on the paper. Thereby, an even
pressure across the paper is obtained.
A poorly adjusted lift arm may be detected by a weaker printout on
the inner part of a less than full width paper. Similarly, when revert-
ing to a wider paper, the arm should be adjusted, or the printout on
the outer part of the paper could be weak.
To adjust the printhead lift arm, proceed as follows:
• Remove the ribbon, if any.
• Loosen the knob that holds the lift arm. Move the arm inwards or
outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm becomes centre-
aligned with the paper web.
While moving the arm, push at the part where the knob is situated,
not at the tip. If the arm is hard to move, lift the printhead and pull
the printhead bracket free from the magnet in the lift arm.
• After having centred the arm, lock it by tightening the knob.
• Reload the ribbon, if any.
