have enough range, then you will have to change the pitch setting using the

BACKFEED OFFSET
When a label is printed it must be correctly positioned for dispensing and
application. The Backfeed adjustment is used to position the label so that it is fully
dispensed and ready for application. It may then be necessary to reposition the next
label before printing. The Backfeed (repositioning of the label) operation is enabled
if DSW3-4 is in the Off position. If backfeed is enabled, placing DSW3-1 in the Off
position will cause the backfeed operationto be performed immediately before each
label is printed. If DSW3-1 is in the On position, the backfeed operation is
performed as soon as the dispensed label has been printed and taken from the
printer.
The amount of backfeed is controlled by the OFFSET potentiometer on the DIP
Switch Panel inside the cover. When turned all the way counterclockwise, the
amount of backfeed is +3.75 mm, and -3.75 mm when turned all the way
counterclockwise.
1. Turn the printer on.
2. Press the LINE key to place the printer in the Off Line status.
3. Press the FEED key to feed out a blank label.
4. Adjust the position using the OFFSET potentiometer on the front control
panel and feed another label by depressing the FEED key. Repeat this
procedure until the label is fully released from the liner.
DISPLAY
This potentiometer is used to adjust the contrast of the LCD display for optimum
viewing under various lighting conditions.
The PRINT potentiometer is used to adjust the amount of heat (i.e., power) applied
to the head for printing. It provides a continuous range of adjustment. Maximum
print darkness is obtained by turning the potentiometer all the way clockwise and a
maximum counterclockwise setting will give the lightest print.
NOTE: The PRINT potentiometer adjustment will affect the darkness in all of the
commend code speed and darkness ranges.
