Adjust the Printhead Pressure
You may need to adjust printhead pressure if printing is too light on one side, if you use thick
media, or if the media drifts from side to side during printing. Use the lowest printhead
pressure necessary to produce good print quality.
See Figure 3. The printhead pressure adjustment dials have setting marks from 1 to 4.
