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 consistent across the label.
To adjust the alignment, test print a label, loosen the set screw, slightly move the adjustment plate to the right or
left as deemed necessary to align the print head with the roller, and reprint a label. Repeat the process until proper
printing is achieved and then retighten the set screw while holding the adjustment plate in position.
