Page 19: Adjusting The Printing Mechanism
Adjustments Adjusting the Printing Mechanism Major adjustment of the printing mechanism beyond format-based settings is only required if the printhead assembly has been removed or parts in this area have been replaced. Excluded from this is the replacement of the printhead, after which readjustment is generally not required. -
Page 20: Aligning The Printhead To The Print Roller
Adjustments 5.2.2 Aligning the Printhead to the Print Roller In order to achieve the best possible print image the following printhead settings are necessary: • Setting the parallelism of horizontal lines and the edge of the label. • Aligning the heating line to the top of the print roller. This is the position with the highest print image density. PX Q without automatic ribbon saver PX Q with automatic ribbon saver Figure 16... -
Page 21: Adjusting The Printhead Pressure
Adjustments 5.2.3 Adjusting the Printhead Pressure The printhead pressure can be changed with the screws (1a) and (1b) at the inside and outside of the printhead. Increasing the printhead pressure leads to an improvement of the print image density on the corresponding side and to a shifting of the ribbon feed path to the opposite side. -
