You may determine if the print head has been adjusted properly by performing a test
pattern as documented under Control Buttons in this manual. A properly adjusted
print head will produce an even grid of rectangles when the test pattern is performed.
Before making any judgments as to the quality of the print head, it is absolutely
necessary to ensure that the platen roller and the printhead is clean of all
debris. Clean the platen roller located immediately beneath the print head with a
clean cloth and a small amount of alcohol. The Velcro head-cleaning pad may also
be used to clean heavy build up. Be careful not to damage the platen roller while
cleaning. If the roller is worn, replace the roller.
No tangent adjust is required in the field.
No Head Pressure adjustment is available.
The Print Head is squared at the factory.
The Drive module is spring-loaded and requires no field adjustment. If you have a
feed problem see trouble-shooting guide in the manual.
The knife has an adjustment to square the cut to the stock. To make the adjustment,
loosen the two cap screws, one on top of the knife and one below the knife, using the
3/16" ball driver in the tool kit. Move the knife in the direction desired to square the
cut and retighten.
