PRINT HEAD ALIGNMENT

Print head position has a direct impact on print quality. The print head must be parallel with the platen roller for the

printed image to be consistant across the label. By turning the alignment dial upward or downward, that end of the

print head is advanced forward or backward respectively.

To adjust the alignment, open the print head, turn the alignment dial, and print a test label. Repeat that process

until remedy is achieved.
