Section 4 Maintenance
Adjust the Wear Plate (Balance) Position
Adjusting the wear plate position changes the pressure across the width of the printhead
and platen roller. If uneven printing occurs when the toggle is properly positioned and
printhead pressure is set correctly, the wear plate may need adjustment.
Refer to Figure 4-21 for the location of the adjustment screws used in the following
procedure.
1. Enter Configuration Mode and decrease the darkness setting until the Pause Key
Self Test labels are a charcoal-gray color.
2. Slightly loosen the two screws on the wear plate.
Figure 4-21. Wear Plate Adjustment
3. Adjust the wear plate eccentric clockwise to increase pressure on the main frame
side of the label or adjust it counterclockwise to increase pressure on the outboard
side of the printer.
Caution:
Wear plate position adjustment rarely needs to be performed. Do not perform
this adjustment unless you have been trained to do so. If the procedure is not
done correctly, print quality will be adversely affected.
