Adjust Printhead Pressure and Toggle Position

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.

Caution • Observe proper electrostatic safety precautions when handling any static-sensitive components such as circuit boards and printheads.

To adjust printhead pressure, complete these steps:

1.Print some labels at 2.4 in. (61 mm) per second by running the PAUSE 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.)
