On the I-4208s, press Menu button on front of printer. Go to Print Control. Go to Custom Adjustments. Go to Row Adjust. Change Row setting as needed. Ok to go negative.

You can try "sysadm" for the password using the user id blank. If you have a model number I might be able to get a better answer for you.

The default password for most Datamax printers is "sysadm"

After doing a little research, I can see why you are having a hard time figuring out the correct part number to replace the ribbon.

Here's what I found as a compatible ribbon on the CDW website:

If you are changing length(feed length) you may have to recalibrate the printer . Also ensure that your print format is the correct length for the stock.
You can look at the setup of the printer using the datamax-oneil printer configutation program, or if it is using IP connection, you can go directly to the internal web page for set up. make the cal length 3 times the label length, or leave at the default value.

What type of stock are you using? Gapped, continuous, or reflective mark?
If you are using a standard gapped stock, and the stock is loaded in the printer and ready, press the feed button until 3-6 labels are passed beneath the media sensor.

If you are using reflective (eyemarked stock) go in the the media settings. Change the sensor type to reflective.
Make sure that the eyemark is presented to the sensot at the small white strip on the sensor. Do not move the sensor to a place where the sensor will see anything but the mark.
