Brady IP Series Printer
Settings and Adjustments
Edition 12/07 Service Manual 25
Screws for horizontal alignment (2)
− Turning the screws clockwise will move the printhead to the front.
− Turning the screws counter-clockwise will move the printhead to the back.
For an optimum print quality, the heating elements of the printhead must be aligned to the peak of the
print roller. This setting guarantees the best print darkness and the parallelism of printed horizontal lines
and the label edge.
Screws for adjusting the printhead pressure (3)
− Turning the screws clockwise will decrease the printhead pressure on the corresponding side.
− Turning the screws counter-clockwise will increase the printhead pressure.
By turning a screw (3) counter-clockwise and thereby increasing the printhead pressure, the print image
will darken at the corresponding side and the transfer ribbon feed will shift to the other side.
Screw for adjusting the printhead bend (4)
− Turning the screw clockwise will slightly bend the middle of the printhead downwards which will
increase the printhead pressure in the center.
In case the normal methods to prevent ribbon wrinkling are not successful, the printhead can be bent a
little bit by turning the screw clockwise. This must be done extremely carefully.
As a result, the print image may be lighter on the edges than in the center.
CAUTION!
Be careful while turning the screws (3) counter-clockwise, there is the possibility to screw off
the parts completely.
CAUTION!
Material damage!
As soon as a clear resistance is encountered, the screws should not be turned by more than
a quarter-turn maximum!
