Thermal Printhead Balance Adjustment
If one side of the printed labels is not being printed clearly, or if ribbon wrinkles occur, then adjust
the Thermal Printhead Spring Box position to cure the problem.
1.
Pull the Printhead Lever out
and rotate it upward to the
right (counterclockwise) to
open the Printhead.
2.
Move the Thermal Printhead
Spring Box on the right side.
Normally, the wider the
paper, the farther the
Thermal Printhead Spring Box
will be from the center wall
and for narrower paper, the
Thermal Printhead Spring Box
will be closer to the center
wall.
3.
To adjust the TPH Spring Box
pressure, use a flat tip
screwdriver to turn the screw
clockwise to increase the
pressure or counterclockwise
to decrease the pressure.

Ribbon Tension Adjustment
Due to differences in ribbon material,
ribbon wrinkles may occur during
printing. When this happens increase
the ribbon tension by:
1. Pushing the end of the shaft in.
2. Then turn the ribbon shaft
clockwise to increase the
tension.
If narrower ribbons are being used
(especially ribbon widths of less than 2”),
the Printer might have a problem feeding
labels. When this happens decrease the
ribbon tension by:
1. Pushing the end of the shaft in.
2. Then turn the ribbon shaft
counterclockwise to decrease the
tension.
