PROCEDURE
Refer to Section 7.2 and run a test print. .ig. 5-5
By adjusting the Allen head screws on the rear of the Stay, you can move
the print head forward or backward. This allows you to position the
burnline of the print head directly and evenly over the apex of the platen
surface. .ig. 5-6 & 5-7
While printing the test pattern, adjust the Allen adjustment screws for the
best print quality. NOTE: It is vital that a known good platen be in the
unit.
Verify the image is even on the label by measuring the distance from the
bottom of the barcode to the bottom of the label on both sides. Refer to
.ig. 5-5. If uneven, adjust the Allen adjustment screws to correct the
alignment. This may affect the print quality and may need to be
readjusted.
If you are unable to get the unit to produce good print quality, proceed to
Section 5.4 Print Head Balance Adjustment and perform the adjustment;
then return to this section and redo the Print Head Position Adjustment.
NOTE: You may have to do both of these adjustments concurrently
several times to achieve proper print quality and alignment.
