The printer is factory-adjusted for full size media width. When
using narrower media, adjust the pressure arm so it remains
centered on the media and applies pressure evenly.
A poorly adjusted pressure arm may be detected by a weaker
printout on either side of the media path.
To adjust the pressure arm
1 Remove the ribbon, if any.
2 Loosen the knob that holds the pressure arm. Move the arm
inwards or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm
becomes centered on the media stock.
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 arm.
3 Lock the arm in the new position by tightening the knob.
4 Re-adjust the edge guides.
5 Reload the ribbon, if any.
