Media Thickness Adjustment
Installing the Media (p.25, p.27)
The printer is already factory-set to the requirements of proper print quality while using the recommended labels. If the print quality is inferior because of the different type of media, adjust the printhead position in the following manner:

Self Print Mode (p.36)

When using standard labels, or thermal media
1. Looking in at the media thickness check window, reset the printhead offset so that it comes to the center line (middle of the three lines) by turning the media thickness adjustment screw with a screwdriver. Then turn the media thickness adjustment screw two to four times counterclockwise with a screwdriver. (Factory setting: two turns.) 2. Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print.
When using thick media (tags or other media)
1. Looking in at the media thickness check window, reset the printhead position so that it comes to the center line (middle of the three lines) by turning the media thickness adjustment screw with a screwdriver. 2. Then turn the media thickness adjustment screw two to four times clockwise with a screwdriver. 3. Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print.

Media Width Adjustment

The printer is already factory-set to the value of media width: 1 mm (4.in). When you use narrow media, adjust the printhead pressure in the following:
1. Looking in at the check window on the upper frame, align the mark (the left end of white plastic) with the width of media by turning the media width adjustment knob. (The printhead must be closed.) 2. Make fine adjustments by checking the self-test print. When the print on right side is too light: Move the mark (white) to the right side by turning the media width adjustment knob clockwise. When the print on the left side is too light: Move the mark to the left side by turning the media width adjustment knob counterclockwise.

Adjusting the Ribbon

Setting the Ribbon (p.32)
Ribbon tension in this printer is already adjusted for the recommended ink ribbon and media and is very tolerant to different types of media. However, it may slip due to imperfect combinations of ribbon and media and it is possible that you will see a Ribbon End message even though the ribbon is not finished. This is more likely to happen with narrow width ribbons, especially those less than 50mm (2 inches). To resolve this problem and obtain the optimum printing condition, make adjustments in the following manner (this should be done after the printhead pressure adjustments on the previous page are made):

5) Is the recommended ribbon or a ribbon of the same type used? 6) Is the thermal printhead in the correct position for the media that is used? 7) Is the printers head pressure balance correct for the width of the media that is used? 1) Are the media and the ribbon correctly set? 2) Is the platen dirty? Is it deformed?
Corrective action 4) If it is dirty, remove the dirt with the attached head cleaner. If a label is stuck to the head, remove it. Note: Do not use a metal object to remove a label stuck to the inside of the printer. (This may damage the thermal printhead.) If adhesive label material is stuck to the print head, remove it with a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. 5) Use the recommended ribbon or a ribbon of the same type. 6) Adjust the offset of the thermal printhead with the media thickness adjustment dial. 7) Adjust the thermal printhead pressure with the media width adjustment dial.
1) Correctly set the media and the ribbon. 2) If it is dirty, clean it with ethyl alcohol. If it is deformed, replace it. Note: Consult with the dealer that supplied the printer concerning the replacement. 3) If an error message is displayed, check the content of the software and the communication status set by the host computer. 4) Set the correct menu values using the operating panel or the host computer. 5) Set the media sensitivity to appropriate values. If this does not solve the problem, change the Sensor level that is set in the System setup. 1) Adjust the tension with the adjustscrew. 2) Adjust the left - right balance with the media width adjustment knob. 3) Set the appropriate printing density using the menu or control software. 4) Use the recommended products or equivalent products. If this does not correct the problem, contact a service representative. 1) Adjust the tension with the adjustscrew. 1) Set the ribbon in the correct course. 2) Set the correct winding direction.
