- The print shift may occur in the bi-directional print after changing the height of

Print head. If this is the case, adjust the bidirectional position in [BIDIR ADJ] of the

MEDIA REG MENU.( P.3-32 [(19) BIDIR ADJ1 L] to [(24)BIDIR ADJ3 R]

- As the gap between the side plate of printer and the carriage is narrow, if it is hard to reach the head up down mechanism and head securing screws, move the carriage to the right (or the left) by hand.

- Confirm that the head securing screws at right and left are tightened. If the head securing screws on the carriage loosen, they may strike the media or edge guard, causing poor image quality and damage to the printer.

During adjustment of the head height, the warning beep will be heard.
