3-5 Units for specifying position and length The print position may be specified in either inch or metric system. Switching between the two systems is accomplished through software. The print position can be freely designated within the maximum label size, regardless of which system you wish to use.
3-6 Reference points The reference points are described in the figure. The position of 2.5 mm from the left edge of the paper is the reference point. The left bottom is the reference point for the printed characters and bar codes. The concept of this reference point is common to such commands as ruled line and graphic.
3-7 3.4 Loading the Paper CAUTION Be careful of the edges of the plates so injury or property damage is possible. The printer is designed to easily load the paper and ribbon. After opening the cover, set the register paper as follows: 1) Push down the open lever (1) to have the head open (see the figure).

3-9 3.5 Loading the Ribbon CAUTION Be careful of the edges of the plates so injury or property damage is possible. After opening the cover, set the ribbon as follows: 1) Push down the open lever (1) to have the head open (see the figure). 2) Insert the ribbon shaft (11) in the ribbon until it reaches the end.
3-10 3.6 Print Head Offset Adjustments CAUTION Ensure the print head offset adjustments are correct for your type of print media (thickness & width). Incorrect adjustments can cause premature failure of the print head. The printer has already been factory-set to the label paper with a width of 112 mm (4.
3-11 2. When the print density on the left and right sides is not equal (when the paper with a different width has been used): The right head pressure viewed from the front of the panel can be adjusted with the head pressure adjust-screw.
3-12 3.7 Ribbon Tension Adjustments When the ribbon slips or wrinkles during printing, adjust the ribbon tension. The printer has already been factory set with the ribbon width of 114 mm. When using ribbon with a different width, adjust it according to the following procedure: a) Hold the ribbon roll with one hand so that it does not turn.
