7RJJOH￿3UHVVXUH￿$GMXVWPHQW

The toggle assembly presses the printhead against the ribbon (if used), the media, and the platen.

The pressure applied by the toggle assembly may need to be increased or reduced when different thicknesses or widths of media are used in the printer.

NOTE: Before increasing toggle pressure to achieve darker print darkness, perform the print quality adjustments.

Refer to Figure 23. Turn the two knurled toggle pressure adjust knobs (a) on top of the toggle assembly to adjust the pressure. Turning clockwise increases the pressure, and turning counterclockwise decreases the pressure.

Always use the lowest toggle pressure necessary to provide the desired print darkness on the label.

NOTE: When using media narrower than 4.5" wide (full media width), reduce the pressure on the right hand toggle until print quality is affected, then increase pressure just to the point where good print quality is achieved. This reduces the wear on those areas of the printhead and the platen where ribbon and media are not present. (For very narrow media, zero pressure from the right toggle may be required.)
