Verify Latch Operation:
Open and close the Printhead Assembly, verify that the Latch is fully engaged. If you are unable to get the Printheadto latch, the Side Plate is too low.
Pressing down on the Printhead Assembly should not cause the Latch to loosen or reveal any gap at the latch point. If there is a gap or movement in the Latch then the Side Plateis too high.
Print some sample labels. If degraded print quality or ribbon tracking problems are observed then the Side Plate is not positioned correctly.
