Correcting Uneven Print Quality
You may experience problems in print quality (ribbon wrinkling or light print on one side of yourlabel) if the printhead is not making even contact with the label stock. You need a straight-slotscrewdriver to turn the bias adjust screw.
Note: To achieve the best print quality, adjust the bias adjust screw each time you use mediaof a different width.

Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon If you plan to print in thermal transfer mode, you must install a thermal transfer ribbon on the ribbonsupply hub after you install the thermal transfer media. Note that ribbon is sold separately.
Note: If you are using plastic ribbon cores, you need to install the core locking brackets forthe plastic ribbon cores before you load thermal transfer ribbon. For help, see the printeruser’s manual.
If applicable, save the plastic bag that your mediacame in. Attached to the bag is a label with a three-digit sensitivity number printed on it. You need thisnumber to set the correct media sensitivity number.
Open the media cover.
Make sure the printhead is raised. If not, turn the headlift lever clockwise until the printhead releases.

The serial port settings of your printer should match those of your PC or network controllingdevice. The default settings of the printer are:
Parameter Setting
Baud rate 9600
Parity Even
Word length selection 7-bit word
Protocol XON/XOFF no status response
Device address A
Media type Direct thermal
Determine which parameters you need to change and which DIP switches you need to set. Use theDIP switch table on the following page.
Use a small straight-slot screwdriver to set the appropriate DIP switches on or off.
Turn the printer power off and then on again.For example, if you want to change the media type tothermal transfer, set DIP switch 8 on the bottom bank of switches to the on (|) position.

Verifying Printer Communications With Your System
Once you have the printer connected to your system, you need to verify that the printercommunicates with your system. The easiest way to test communications is to set the printer toData Line Print mode and send down a character string from your system.
If you have just printed a hardware configuration test label, start with Step 4.

Send down some characters from your system.
At this point the printer does not attempt to interpretany printer commands. It simply prints each characterwith its hexadecimal equivalent underneath.
Turn the printer power off and then on again.
Connecting the Printer to Your System
You can connect your printer to a PC, a local area network, an AS/400 (or other midrange sor a mainframe. Use this section to connect the printer to your system.
Connecting the Printer to a PC You can connect your printer to either a serial port or a parallel port (if you have the parallinstalled) on your PC. You must provide the correct cables to connect the printer. Contact yIntermec representative for ordering assistance if you do not have the appropriate cables.
Use the following table to determine the correct Intermec cable for your application. Cableschematics for the PC serial cables appear on the following pages.
