5.4 Printhead Adjustments

To ensure even and consistent print quality across a wide range of media types,

widths and thickness, the printhead is equipped with two adjustments: the

Leveling Cam and the Burn Line.

5.4.1 Leveling Cam Adjustment

The Printhead Leveling Cam raises and lowers the right side of the Printhead

Assembly. Make this important adjustment when using media that is less than

the full width of the Platen Roller.

Load the printer with media.

Download a label format or use

a Quick Test label.

Begin printing and examine the

right side of the label.

Rotate the Printhead Leveling

Cam clockwise or counter-

clockwise until even print is

achieved across the width of the

label (see examples below).

An incorrect adjustment (too much)

produces a gradual fading across the

label. In this case, the Printhead

Leveling Cam setting should be

decreased.

A correct adjustment produces a

complete image with an even contrast

across the label.

Note: An incorrect adjustment (too little) can also cause ribbon wrinkling

and label tracking problems; and lead to Platen Roller and Printhead

wear.
