Chapter 3 Printer Adjustments
Media Width Adjustment
The head pressure varies according to the width of the media being
printed.
The head pressure balance must be adjusted according to media width so
that constant head pressure is applied to the head. With this printer, it can
be adjusted easily by turning the media width adjustment dial.
If the printing is blurred or lightly printed on one side or the media moves
in a zigzag pattern adjust the head pressure balance.
After making an adjustment, conrm the output quality with a test print.
When using narrow media, be sure to MAKE this adjustment. (If you do
not, the head may be damaged by jamming, etc.)
