Adjusting Printhead Balance
The printer is adjusted at the factory for full-width media. If you are
using media that is less than full-width, Intermec recommends that
you adjust the position of the printhead balance boxes so that the
printhead is correctly pressured against the media. If your printouts
are lighter on one side than the other, it is most likely due to an
unbalanced printhead.
To adjust the printhead balance
1 If you have installed thermal transfer ribbon, remove it.
2 Pull out on the printhead lever and turn it counterclockwise to lift
the printhead.
