Chapter 3 Printer Adjustments
Media Thickness Adjustment
It may be necessary to adjust the printer according to the thickness of
the media being used. This can be done easily by rotating the media
adjustment dial to improve the print quality.
• Poor print quality across the complete printout means wrongly set
media thickness. See this section.
• Poor print quality on one side of a printout means wrongly set media
width. See next section.

direct thermal media

smallest number on the dial to the largest number on the dial one step at
a time.
When using thicker media (tags, card, etc.)
Adjust while performing test printing by turning the dial from the
smallest number on the dial to the largest number on the dial one step at
a time.
