5.2 Media Width Adjustment
A Thumbwheel on the side of the Printhead Carrier Assembly allows the
printhead to be adjusted for various sizes of media. When adjusting for
narrow media move the Thumbwheel to the left (clockwise); conversely,
when adjusting for wide media move it to the right (counterclockwise).
; Note: The numbers on the Thumbwheel are for reference only and do not
correspond to specific media widths.
To perform the media width adjustment:
1. Load media into the printer. Print a label (press the + buttons
simultaneously) and examine it.
2. If the printing appears too light on the right-hand side of the label (see
example below), then move the Thumbwheel to the right
(counterclockwise). Print another label and examine it, making
additional adjustments as necessary.
The light print on the right
side of this Dot Check Label
indicates that the Thumbwheel
should be adjusted to the
right. Media

; Note: If the media begins tracking to the right while printing, the
Thumbwheel should be adjusted to the left (clockwise).
