5 Engage the printhead and load the ribbon.
6 Test and readjust if necessary.
When using thick or stiff media, the printhead needs to be moved forward
so the dot line is precisely aligned with the top of the platen roller. The
platen roller and printhead must of course be perfectly parallel as well.
To adjust the printhead dot line position
1 Open the side door.
2 Remove the ribbon and lower the printhead.
3 Use a straight-slot screwdriver to turn the two screws at the top of the
printhead bracket counterclockwise a single turn.
4 Turn the printhead lever to raise the printhead.
5 Carefully turn both screws at the front of the printhead clockwise a
quarter of a turn at a time (a full turn corresponds to 0.55 mm, which is
a lot). Be sure to make identical adjustments on both screws! If you are
unsure, tighten both screws by turning them counterclockwise as far as
they go and start over.
