Adjusting
Press

Make
sure
the
dot
matrix
printer's
application
plate
is
aligned
correctly
by
holding
a
device
in
your
fingers
and
sliding
it
across
the
application
plate,
over
the
press
bearings,
and
onto
the
bearing
plate
(see
Figure
2-8).
The
device
should
move
smoothly
across
the
press
bearings.
If
device
travel
is
not
smooth,
use
a
7/64-inch
hex
wrench
to
loosen
(to
raise)
or
tighten
(to
lower)
the
screw
on
the
left
side
of
the
plate
(near
the
bearings)
until
a
smooth
transition
occurs
(see
Figure
2-8).
Adjusting
Print
Position

Two
parameters
control
the
position
of
text

of
each
parameter,
the
location
of
the
text
or
graphics
printed
on
the
label
can
be
adjusted.
•
The

from
the
top
to
bottom
of
the
label
(Y
axis).
See
Figure

(the
range
is
from
0

255).
Entering
a
larger

moves
the
printed
characters
closer
to
the
leading
edge
of
the
label.
4.
Press
START
to
continue
running
the
Task.
The
label
advance
value
defines
how
far
a
label
is
extended
above
the
application
plate
just
before
it
is
applied
to
a
device
(see
Figure
5-14).
The
value
can
be
changed
by
pressing
STOP
and
LOWER
CASE
+
W.
Increasing
the
numeric
value
advances
the
label
farther
above
the
application
plate.
When
the
thermal
printer
is
operating
correctly,
the
label
and
ribbon
material
advance
smoothly
and
without
any
binding
or
excess
slack.
If
any
of
the
clutches
that
are
attached
to
the
rollers
begin
to
bind,
they
can
cause
the
feeding
and
advancing
of
both
label
and
ribbon
material
to
go
out
of
adjustment.
To
adjust
the
thermal
printer,
follow
these
steps
(see
Figure
5-9):
1.
Starting
with
the
ribbon
(supply)
roll
hub,
check
that
it
has
only
slight
friction.
Remove
the
ribbon
hub
and
spring
washer.
2.
Hold
the
spring
washer
in
your
hand
and,
using
small
needlenose
pliers,
bend
the
three
fingers
so
they
produce
less
(or
more,
if
required)
friction
on
the
hub.
3.
Reinstall
the
spring
washer
and
hub
on
the
printer.
Check
that
there
is
now
only
slight
friction.
4.
Print
a
label
and
observe
the
amount
of
slack
in
the
ribbon
when
the
printer
head
pivots
up
to
print.
The
ribbon
should
droop
down
about
3/4”
when
the
print
head
pivots
up.
If
it
does
not,
loosen
the
lock
nut
on
the
damper
at
the
top
of
the
air
cylinder
using
small
needlenose
pliers,
and
adjust
it
counterclockwise
with
a
small
flat-
blade
screwdriver
until
the
head
pivots
up
fast
enough
to
create
the
droop.
Then
tighten
the
lock
nut
with
the
small
needlenose
pliers.
