13. Continue to print PAUSE Test labels and verify that parallelism is correct.
14. If parallelism is out of tolerance, perform the Printhead Parallelism
Adjustment.

Printhead Position Adjustment
This adjustment is performed in conjunction with the Printhead Parallelism,
Wear Plate Position, and Printhead Pressure Adjustments.
Adjusting the Printhead position aligns the head for optimum print quality.
Refer to Figure 5.3 for location of adjustment screws used in the following
procedure.
1. The thermal elements of the printhead should be aligned just behind the
crest of the Platen Roller.
2. Print test labels using the PAUSE Key Self Test.
3. Using a 7/64" Allen wrench, loosen the four Allen screws at the top rear of
the Print Mechanism.
4. Position both Toggles (160S) so that they are half the distance between the
Printhead Attaching Screw and the outside edges of the Printhead. For the
105S/105Se, make sure the Toggle is centered over the media.
5. Set the Darkness to achieve the optimum print quality.
CAUTION
In step 6, to prevent printhead damage, loosen the four top
screws before turning the two rear adjustment screws.
6. Adjust the printhead position for optimum print quality by equally turning
the two Parallelism Adjustment Screws located at the back of the print
mechanism.
