13. Close the printhead by pressing down on both sides of the pivoting deck
and rotating the deck lock lever fully counterclockwise. This locks the
pivoting deck and printhead assembly into the printing position.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the pivoting deck is down and locked before attempting to
advance media or print. Failure to do so will cause the "PRINTHEAD UP"
fault message to display.

or transfer). The Print Mode submenu is located in the QUICK SETUP
menu. See "Main Menu" on page 92 for more information. Also, if thermal
transfer media is installed, see "Loading Ribbon" on page 53.
15. Verify the printhead pressure is properly set. See "Printhead Pressure
Adjustment" on page 66.
16. Verify the pressure blocks are properly positioned. See "Printhead
Pressure Block Adjustments" on page 67.
