66 Zebra Z4M/Z6M Printers User’s Guide
The pressure adjustment dials each have four possible settings designated by blocks of
increasing size embossed on the print mechanism. The smallest block (fully
counterclockwise) is considered “position 1” and the largest block (fully clockwise) is
considered “position 4.”
Use Table 4 or Table 5 (depending upon which printer you have) to select the initial
dial settings for your media.
NOTE: Some media types require higher pressure to print well. For these
media, increase both dials one position. If the media tends to shift to the left
while printing, increase the right dial setting one position or decrease the left
dial setting one position. If the media tends to shift to the right while printing,
increase the left dial setting one position or decrease the right dial setting one
position.
NOTE: In addition, if you have a Z6M printer with the Value Peel-off option
,
Zebra recommends setting the left dial to 7 and the right dial to 6 when using
media that is 6" or wider.
