Media Thickness Adjustment

The printer is already factory-set to the requirements of proper print quality
while using the recommended labels. If the print quality is inferior because
of the different type of media, adjust the printhead position in the following
manner:
When using standard labels, or thermal media
11 Looking in at the media thickness check window, reset the
printhead offset so that it comes to the center line (middle of
the three lines) by turning the media thickness adjustment
screw with a screwdriver1
Then turn the media thickness adjustment screw two to four
times counterclockwise with a screwdriver1 (Factory setting:
two turns1)
21 Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print1
When using thick media (tags or other media)
11 Looking in at the media thickness check window, reset
the printhead position so that it comes to the center line
(middle of the three lines) by turning the media thickness
adjustment screw with a screwdriver1
21 Then turn the media thickness adjustment screw two to four
times clockwise with a screwdriver1
31 Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print1
