Chapter 6 – Maintain the Printer
Adjust the Printhead Balance
104
If your labels are printing lighter on one side than the other, you probably
have an unbalanced printhead. The printer is adjusted at the factory for
full-width media. If you are using media that is less than full-width (4
inches or 102 mm), Intermec recommends that you adjust the position of
the printhead balance arm so that the printhead is correctly pressured
against the media.
1 Open the media cover.
2 If you have thermal transfer ribbon installed, remove it.
3 Turn the printhead lift lever counterclockwise to raise the printhead.
4 Press down on the blue part of the printhead balance bar and move it:
•
outward for wider media.
•
inward for narrower media.
5 Close the printhead and load the ribbon.
6 Test and readjust the printhead balance if necessary.
7 Close the media cover.
