Brady 200M Printer User Manual


 
Note: The 200M has one toggle, the 260M printer has two toggles.
The toggle(s) should be positioned to provide even pressure on
the media. Toggles are positioned by sliding them left or
right to the desired location. On the 200M, the single toggle
should normally be positioned over the center of the media. If
your printer has two toggles and you are using media too narrow
to accommodate both toggles, position one toggle over the center
of the media and decrease the pressure on the unused toggle.
If printing is too light on one side, or if thick media is used, you
may need to adjust the printhead pressure. Refer to Figures 7.1
and 7.2 and follow the procedure below.
1. Perform a PAUSE Key Self Test.
2. Lower the Darkness Setting until the printing is gray.
3. Loosen the Toggle Position locking nut(s) located inside the
“U” shaped bracket at the top of the toggle.
4. Slide toggle(s) in the direction of the light printing.
5. Using the knurled Adjusting Nuts on the shaft(s) of the tog-
gle(s), increase or decrease spring pressure until the left and
right edges of printed area are equally dark.
6. Increase Darkness to optimum level for the media being used.
7. Retighten the Toggle Position locking nut(s).
Note: Printhead life can be maximized by using the lowest
pressure that produces the desired print quality.
