driver IC is directly attached to the printhead unit.

edges of the printhead.

head data writing operation before any other adjustments. (See Section 4.1.1.)

Carriage Shaft Spacer L 0.6 mm
Carriage Shaft Spacer L and B 0.8 mm
Carriage Shaft Spacer L and C 1.0 mm
Carriage Shaft Spacer L and D 1.2 mm
