Printhead Pressure Adjustment

Each print head pressure adjustment knob has 5 levels of adjustment. Because the printer's paper
alignment is located on the left side, different media widths require different pressure to print correctly.
Therefore adjustment of both pressure knobs may be required to get your best print quality. For example, if
the label width is 4", adjust both print head pressure adjustment knobs to the same level. If the label is less
than 2" wide, increase the left side print head pressure by rotating the adjustment knob clockwise and
decrease the right side pressure by rotating the adjustment knob counter-clockwise to level 1.

Ribbon Tension Adjustment Screw

The ribbon tension adjustment screw has 0 ~ 5 positions for adjustment. Because the printer's ribbon
alignment is to the left side of the mechanism, different ribbon or media widths require different tension to
print correctly. Therefore ribbon tension knob adjustment may be required to get the best print quality.
