Zebra Technologies PT400 Printer User Manual


 
Adjusting the Printhead Pressure
Adjust printhead pressure if print darkness is inconsistent across the label.
NOTE: In general, use a higher setting for wide labels and a
lower setting for narrow labels.
There are four printhead pressure settings (see Figure 21). Depending on
whether you want to increase or decrease the printhead pressure, slide the
printhead pressure adjuster toward the back or front of the printer. Then,
print another test label. Repeat this procedure until you achieve the desired
results.
WARNING: NEVER tighten or loosen the two screws that
secure the printhead to the bracket! They are not used to
adjust printhead pressure!
