Adjusting The Supply Width - Paxar 9856 Operator's Handbook Manual

A d j u s t i n g t h e S u p p l y W i d t h
The printer uses a variety of supply widths and thicknesses. The printer is
factory set using a standard full-width supply. The printhead has a leveling
knob adjustment to ensure even print quality. The knob raises and lowers
the right side of the printhead to keep the printhead level across the supply.
When out of alignment, print along one side of the label is missing. The
print drops off suddenly, rather than gradually fading out.
If you are experiencing ribbon wrinkling problems, make
sure the printhead knob is properly adjusted.
The knob is numbered for convenience and does not relate to specific
supply sizes. Turn the knob one click at a time until the desired print quality
is achieved.
The printhead must be open in order for you to turn the
printhead knob.
