Page of 73 31 The print head burn line adjustment knobs are used to fine tune the print quality for different thickness of media. Turning t he knobs adjusts the print head’s burn line forward or backward as it relates to the platen roller. Caution: Incorrectly adjusting these k nobs can lead to poor print quality and may cause damage to the printer. Proceed with caution. The print head burn line default is set for gener al purpose printing media (plain paper and paper thickness less than 0.008 inch). The adjustment knobs default is screwed clockwise to the end of thread. Poor print quality when using paper thi cker than 0.008 inch may be due to the print head burn line not being at the optimized po sition. To improve the print quality, increase the head pressure or adjust the knobs counter-clockwise to move print head burn line toward the paper out direction then print again. Continue to adjust the burn line position and test print as necessary until the printout image is clear.
