Adjusting Press
Bearings
Make sure the dot matrix printer’s application plate is aligned correctly
by holding a device in your fingers and sliding it across the application
plate, over the press bearings, and onto the bearing plate (see Figure 2-8).
The device should move smoothly across the press bearings.
If device travel is not smooth, use a 7/64-inch hex wrench to loosen (to
raise) or tighten (to lower) the screw on the left side of the plate (near the
bearings) until a smooth transition occurs (see Figure 2-8).
Adjusting Print
Position on the Label
(Thermal Printer)
Two parameters control the position of text and graphics on the label. By
changing the value of each parameter, the location of the text or graphics
printed on the label can be adjusted.
•The
print shift
value affects the vertical position of the printed image,
moving the position of characters or graphics from the top to bottom
of the label (Y axis). See Figure 5-7.
•The
label calibration
value affects the horizontal position of the
printed image on the label, moving the position of the text or
graphics from left to right (X axis). See Figure 5-8.
