Printhead Pressure Adjustment
If positioning the toggles properly does not solve a print quality problem, try adjusting the
printhead pressure. Maximize printhead life by using the lowest pressure that produces the
desired print quality.
To adjust printhead pressure, complete these steps:
1. Print some labels at 2.4 in. (61 mm) per second by running the PAUS E Self Test
on page 165.
2. While printing labels, use the control panel controls to lower the darkness setting until the
labels are printing gray instead of black.
3. Loosen the upper knurled nuts on the toggle assemblies (1). (The 90XiIIIPlus and
96XiIIIPlus printers have only one toggle.)
Caution • Observe proper electrostatic safety precautions when handling any
static-sensitive components such as circuit boards and printheads.
