Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP – User's Guide
The printer is factory-adjusted for full size media width. When
using media less than full width, it is recommended that you
adjust the pressure arm so it becomes centered on the media.
Thereby, an even pressure across the media is obtained.
A poorly adjusted pressure arm may be detected by a weaker
printout on either side of the media path.
To adjust the pressure arm, proceed as follows:
• Remove the ribbon, if any.
• Loosen the knob that holds the pressure arm. Move the arm
inwards or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm
becomes centered with the media stock.
While moving the arm, push at the part where the knob is
situated, not at the tip. If the arm is hard to move, lift the
printhead and pull the printhead bracket free from the magnet
in the arm.
• After having centered the arm, lock it by tightening the knob.
• Reload the ribbon, if any.
