Adjusting the Pressure Arm

PA30 Print Engine User's Manual
• If you are using media with slots, gaps, or black marks that
indicate label edges, you can adjust the label stop sensor (LSS)
to position the sensor for best results. For help, see
the Label Stop Sensor" on page 28.
The PA30 is factory-adjusted for full size media width. If you use
media of less than 120 cm (4.72 in) width, you should adjust the
printhead pressure arm to center the arm over the media and
maintain even pressure.
To adjust the pressure arm
1 Open the PA30 access door.
2 Turn the printhead lift lever counterclockwise to raise the
printhead.
3 Remove ribbon if any ribbon is installed.
4 Turn the pressure arm lock knob counterclockwise to loosen
the knob.
5 Slide the pressure arm in or out until the arrow on the tip of
the arm is centered over the media. To slide the arm, push it
along the bar below the pressure arm lock knob. If the arm is
difficult to move, push down on the printhead to disengage
the pressure arm magnet.
