3.6 Head Offset Adjustments
CAUTION Ensure the print head offset adjustments are made
properly according to the type of print media (thickness &
width). Incorrect adjustments can cause failure of the
print head.
The printer has already been factory-set to the proper print quality when using
the recommended label paper. If the print quality is inferior because of the
paper, adjust it according to the following:
1 For standard label paper and thermal paper:
a) Look through the offset verification window. Set it to the center line
(middle of three lines) by turning the offset adjustment screw with a
screwdriver.
b) Turn the offset adjustment screw counterclockwise two turns.
2 For tag stock:
a) Look through the offset verification window. Set it to the bottom line
position by turning the offset adjustment screw with a screwdriver.
The relationship between the offset adjustment screw and the print head
heating element is shown below:
