Adjusting the Printer for Different Width Media

2-14
The printhead has a leveling cam adjustment to ensure even print quality
across the media regardless of the media dimension. The cam adjustment raises
or lowers the right side of the printhead to keep it level across the media.
Your printer is set up at the factory for the following media:
4630 Standard 4 mil thick, 6.55 inch (166 mm) wide print media.
4830 Standard 4 mil thick, 8.85 inch (225 mm) wide print media.
The cam adjustment is designed to compensate for the use of narrower width
stock. When the cam is out of adjustment, print along one side of the label will
drop off suddenly, rather than gradually fading out.
You must pull out on the adjustment knob to turn it. The knob has numbers
that you can use as reference points when adjusting media width; however, the
numbers do not relate to specific media sizes. Turn the knob one or two
numbers at a time until the desired print quality is achieved.
