Printhead Pressure Adjustment
To accommodate a variety of media types, the pressure applied by the printhead assembly
is adjustable. This pressure is factory set to work with most media types, so this adjustment
should only be performed after attempting to improve print quality through the use of the (1)
heat and/or (2) print speed software
controls.
When adjusting, use only the minimum
pressure necessary for better imaging. To
adjust:
1. Load the printer with media, see
'Loading Media'.
2. Print a test label from the host.
3. Using a small coin or screwdriver, turn
the Printhead Pressure Adjustment
Screw so the arrows point to the desired
setting:
Low Medium High
Note: Excessive pressure can reduce the service life of the printhead and platen roller.
