and has two adjustable screws A and B shown below.

If the label printout occurs as in Test label A, turn screw A clockwise. If
the printout occurs as in Test label B, turn screw B clockwise. Turn the
screw half a circle and perform a new test printing. Continue until you
achieve a smooth print quality. Screw adjustment must not exceed two
full turns. In such a case, paper feed may not be smooth and the screws
need to be turned counterclockwise completely and readjusted from start.
