3 Adjustments
Screw for adjusting the camber (3)
- By turning the screw clockwise the printhead will be changed minimally in the center causing pressure in the
middle of the printhead.
If all else fails to decrease creases in the ribbon the printhead can be altered by turning the screw clockwise. It is
recommended to proceed with the utmost caution when performing these alterations.
!
Attention!
Danger of causing damage to parts of the device.
As soon as there is a distinguishable resistance when turning the screw do not turn it more than another
90°.
The result is that the image will be lightened along the outside edges of the image compared to the middle.

Settings

1. Insert material (labels and ribbon) that covers the entire printing width.
2. Configure the printer to heating power 0 and printing speed 100 mm/s.
3. Turn the camber screw (3) counter clockwise until the resistance subsides. This should be about half a revolution.
4. Undo screw (2) and by turning screw (1) align the marking (4) to the middle segments (5) of the graduation.
5. Perform test prints with "test grid" labels or the like.
6. If the horizontal lines of the test grid are not parallel to the label edge adjust the alignment with screw (1).
7. Use screw (6) to adjust the printhead pressure. Turn the screw only until turning becomes easier.
8. Reduce the heat of the heating element so far that the printed image is light. By doing misalignments become
easy to spot.
9. Test via a grind print increasing the pressure of the side of the printhead where the image is lighter. This is
achieved by turning the screw (6) counter clockwise by about a quarter revolution or until the printed image
appears evenly printed.
10. Turn screw (1) counter clockwise and push the printhead backwards until the printed image almost disappears.
Now turn screw (1) clockwise until the image has reached it darkest value. Take note of the horizontal alignment.
11. Fasten screw (2).
12. Check the ribbon uptake. If the ribbons runs to the right turn the right screw (1) by a quarter revolution counter
clockwise. If the ribbon runs left turn the left screw (1) counter clockwise by a quarter revolution. Test the ribbon
uptake after every adjustment and wait until it has stabilized before attempting further adjustments.
13. In the case of creasing on both edges simultaneously adjust the camber of the printhead. For this carefully turn
the screw (3) clockwise. Turn this screw as little as possible. A slight decrease in printing strength of the image
may be expected.

Attention!
Danger of causing damage to the device.
As soon as there is a distinguishable resistance when turning the screw do not turn it more than another
90°.
14. If there is no camber adjustment necessary turn screw (3) clockwise until it clamps down minimally.
15. Turn down the heating energy in the configuration to 0 and test these results of the previous adjustments. With
normal cab-standard material a clearcut, solid black printed image should have been achieved.
