Chapter3 Handling Adjusting Head-Media Clearance Height The printer allows you to adjust the gap between the print head and paper (Head-Media Clearance Height). This adjustment enables printing on thicker paper, such as tags, and paper thinner than normal labels and continuous paper without degrading print quality. This function can be set on the printer's operation panel or in PrinterSetting. Set [Head-Media Clearance Height] based on the following paper thicknesses. The factory default setting is “2”. Change the setting in the following cases. • If printing is blurred or double, lower the setting value.
• If the print head and paper rub against each other and the paper becomes dirty, increase the setting value. 292 Setting Approximate paper thickness Description 1 0.11 mm {0.004 in.} High Glossy continuous paper 2 0.24 mm {0.009 in.} or less Normal labels, Continuous paper 3 0.32 mm {0.013 in.} or less Tag without RFID 4 0.59 mm {0.023 in.} or less Tag with RFID
