Printhead Assembly
If the printer does not correctly sense the top of each label, it may be necessary to calibrate the
printer (see Section 3.5 Media Calibration).

The printer is factory set to use 4-inch media (and ribbon, if thermal transfer equipped). When using
a different width of media/ribbon, refer to Section 5.3.

On M-4210 models equipped with a Media Hanger in place of a Media Hub, high print speeds may
result in printing degradation. It is recommended to set the print speed at 8ips or less.
