Printhead Balance Adjustment

e printer is factory-adjusted for full-size media width. When using

media less than full width, it is recommended that you adjust the posi

tion of the printhead balance boxes so the printhead gets an even pressure

across the media.

A poorly adjusted printhead pressure may be detected by a weaker print

out on either side of the media path.

To adjust the pressure, proceed as follows:

1 Open the top cover.

2 Remove the ribbon.

3 Lift the printhead by pulling out the printhead lever and ﬂipping it

counterclockwise a quarter of a turn.

4 Move the balance box on the right side (outer) outward (to the right)

for wider media and inwards (to the left) for more narrow media.

5 Engage the printhead and load the ribbon.

6 Test and readjust if necessary. (Hint! If you use direct thermal media

you will not have to load and remove the ribbon over and over again.)
