Printhead Burn Line Adjustment

The print head burn line adjustment are used to fine tune the print quality for different thicknesses of
media. Adjust the print head's burn line forward or backward as it relates to the platen roller.
The print head burn line default is set for general purpose printing media (plain paper and paper thickness
less than 0.20mm). In general, print head burn line adjustment will not be required. If you have poor print
quality, please try changing the print speed or print intensity first, before moving the burn line.
Poor print quality when using paper thicker than 0.20mm may be due to the print head burn line not being
at the optimized position. Please refer to the steps below to improve the print quality.
1. Open the printer to remove the front cover.
2. Adjust the knobs on right and left sides to get your best print quality. There are 7 levels of adjustment.
Adjust both knobs to the same level. The default setting is 4.
3. Adjust the burn line position and test print as necessary until the printed image is clear.
4. Re-install the front cover after adjusting.
