The strip plate can be adjusted to achieve proper tracking and separation of the ribbon from

the media after printing.

1. Print PAUSE Key Self Test labels.

2. Press the PAUSE key. After the printer pauses, observe the ribbon for problems such

as wrinkling.

3. Refer to Figure 4-23 and loosen, but do not remove, the two screws holding the strip

plate to the front of the printhead assembly.

4. While running the PAUSE Key Self Test, lower the strip plate so that the ribbon tracks

flat and smoothly when fed to the ribbon take-up spindle.

5. Tighten the strip plate screws. Print a minimum of 25 labels and check for ribbon

wrinkle, tracking and media/ribbon separation problems. If ribbon problems persist,

refer to “Spindle Tension Adjustment” on page 4-39.

Differences in types of media/ribbon and wear on thermal printhead elements may make it

necessary to adjust the darkness setting (burn temperature) of the printhead.

NOTE: Turning off the printer is not required for the new setting to take effect.

Use the following procedure to adjust the darkness:

1. Begin printing a batch of labels. Use the PAUSE Key, CANCEL Key Self Test label or a

saved format.

2. Enter the Configuration mode and adjust the darkness setting until the desired print

quality is achieved.

The transmissive media sensor senses either the “web” between labels or a hole or notch in

the print media to determine the length of the label or ticket.

The factory-set position should be sufficient for any width label when using media with a web,

so normally no repositioning is required. If it does become necessary to reposition the

transmissive media sensor, refer to Figure 4-24 and Figure 4-25 and perform the upper

transmissive media sensor adjustment and the lower transmissive media sensor adjustment.

Use the following procedure to adjust the upper transmissive media sensor:

1. Remove the ribbon.

CAUTION:

SET THE DARKNESS TO THE LOWEST SETTING POSSIBLE FOR THE

DESIRED PRINT QUALITY. DARKNESS SET TOO HIGH FOR A GIVEN

RIBBON MAY CAUSE INK SMEARING, RIBBON WRINKLE, AND/OR

BURNING THROUGH OF THE RIBBON. HIGH DARKNESS SETTINGS

WILL REDUCE PRINTHEAD LIFE.
