4.1.2 Head Angle Adjustment
The adjust lever on the carriage unit calibrates the printhead mounting position on the carriage unit. You
must adjust the position of this lever properly to compensate for deviations in the carriage unit and the
printhead.
Head Angle Adjustment is Required
❒ After replacing or disassembling the carriage unit.
❒ When a blank space (white line) is visible between the dotted lines printed by adjacent dots within
single print pass.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Run adjustment program CLR200.EXE, and select Head Angle Adjustment. Then follow
program instructions.
2. Check the pattern printed by the printer. If the alignment is not correct, as shown in the figure below,
change the position of the adjust lever on the carriage unit.
❒ To move the reference line UPWARD: Move the lever to the FRONT.
❒ To move the reference line DOWNWARD: Move the lever to the REAR.
3. When the adjustment is complete, return to the program’s main menu, and turn the printer off.
4.1.3 Zig-Zag Adjustment
If a vertical line (for example, the vertical strokes of the character “H”) is jagged, adjust the deviation in the
print timing control to align the printed dot properly on the paper.
1. Run the adjustment program CLR200.EXE, and select Zig-Zag Adjustment.
2. Check the printed pattern. If it is jagged, enter an appropriate adjustment value and confirm the pattern.
3. When the adjustment is complete, return to the main menu, and turn the printer off.
