Chapter 12—Adjustments
Printhead Pressure
The pressure of the thermal printhead against the direct thermal media
is factory-adjusted. However, the use of thicker or thinner media than
normal could require the printhead pressure to be readjusted.
Using a straight-slot screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw clockwise for
more pressure (+) or counterclockwise for less pressure (-). Print a few
labels, preferably test labels (see Chapter 6, “Setting Up the Printer”) and
check the printout. Increased pressure generally gives a darker printout
and vice versa. Repeat until the desired result is obtained.
To return to the factory setting, tighten the screw (+) as far as it goes and
then loosen it (-) four full turns.
Do not use a higher printhead pressure than necessary,
because it may increase the wear of the printhead and
shorten its life.
