Media Thickness Adjustment

It may be necessary to adjust the printer according to the thickness of the
media being used. This can be done easily by rotating the media adjustment
dial to improve the print quality.

• Poor print quality across the complete printout means wrongly set media

thickness. See this section.

• Poor print quality on one side of a printout means wrongly set media width.

See next section.

When using standard label media, high quality media or direct
thermal media

Adjust while performing test printing by turning the dial from the smallest
number on the dial to the largest number on the dial one step at a time.

When using thicker media (tags, card, etc.)

Adjust while performing test printing by turning the dial from the smallest
number on the dial to the largest number on the dial one step at a time.

• The offset adjustment varies according to the thickness and the hardness

of the media.
