Adjusting the print mechanism

Major adjustment of the print mechanism beyond format-based settings is only required if the printhead
assembly has been removed or parts in this area have been replaced. Excluded from this is the replace-
ment of the printhead, after which readjustment is generally not required.
The following print quality imperfections may require a correction of the print mechanism adjustment:
−
Print image too light
−
Print image is spotty
−
Print image lighter on one side
−
Horizontal lines not parallel to the horizontal label edges
−
Clear lateral drift of the transfer ribbon
NOTE!
Print image errors can also arise from wrinkling of the transfer ribbon. Check the transfer ribbon feed
path.
