Print head Pressure Adjustment Knob

The print head adjustment knobs are used to fine tune print quality for

different thickness of media. Turning the knobs adjusts the print head’s burn line

forward or backward as it relates to the platen roller.

Print head burn line adjustment knob

The print head adjustment knobs are used to fine tune print quality for different

thickness of media. Turning the knobs adjusts the print head’s burn line forward

or backward as it relates to the platen roller.

Caution: incorrectly adjusting these knobs can lead to poor print quality

and may cause damage to the printer. Proceed with caution.

The print head burn line default is set for general purpose printing media (plain

paper and paper thickness less than 0.20mm). The adjustment knobs default is

screwed to the end of thread.

Poor print quality when using paper thicker than 0.20mm may be due to the print

head burn line not being at the optimized position. To correct this, increase the

head pressure and adjust the knobs counter-clockwise to move print head burn

line forward then print again. Continue to adjust and test print as necessary until

the image is clear.

Note: The print head moves 0.7 mm for each 360 degree turn.
