Media Width Adjustment - Brady BP-1244 Operator's Manual

5.2 Media Width Adjustment

A Thumbwheel on the side of the printhead carrier assembly allows the
printhead to be adjusted for various sizes of media. When adjusting for
narrow media move the Thumbwheel to the left (clockwise); conversely,
when adjusting for wide media move it to the right (counterclockwise).
Note: The numbers on the Thumbwheel are meant to serve only as
reference points and do not correspond to media widths.
To perform the media width adjustment:
1. Load media into the printer. Print a label and examine it.
2. If the printing appears too light on the right-hand side of the label
(see example below), then move the Thumbwheel to the right
(counterclockwise). Print another label and examine it making
additional adjustments as necessary.
The light print on the
right side of this test
label indicates that the
Thumbwheel should be
adjusted to the right.
Note: If the media begins tracking to the right while printing, the
Thumbwheel should be adjusted to the left (clockwise).
