Adjusting the wear plate position changes the pressure across the width of the printhead and
platen roller. If uneven printing occurs when the toggle is properly positioned in the middle of
the printhead and printhead pressure is set correctly, the wear plate may need adjustment.
Refer to Figure 4-23 for the location of the adjustment screws used in the following procedure.
1. Enter Configuration mode and decrease the darkness setting until the PAUSE Key Self
Test labels are a charcoal gray color.
2. Slightly loosen the two screws on the wear plate.
NOTES: Print PAUSE Key Test labels while adjusting the wear plate eccentric and
check for even printing.
Adjust the wear plate eccentric by turning it by hand or with an open-end
wrench or pliers. Make very small adjustments and check the results.
Wear plate adjustments can adversely affect parallelism.
3. Adjust the wear plate eccentric clockwise to increase pressure on the main frame side
of the label or adjust it counterclockwise to increase pressure on the outboard side of
the printer.
4. When even print quality is achieved, hold the wear plate eccentric in position and
tighten the two wear plate screws.
5. Enter Configuration mode and increase the darkness setting until the PAUSE Key Self
Test labels are at optimum resolution and contrast.
CAUTION:
WEAR PLATE POSITION ADJUSTMENT RARELY NEEDS TO BE
PERFORMED. DO NOT PERFORM THIS ADJUSTMENT UNLESS YOU
HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO DO SO. IF THE PROCEDURE IS NOT DONE
CORRECTLY, PRINT QUALITY WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
