Important • Print quality depends on the labels and ribbon used as well as the toggle pressure. Make sure your labels and ribbon are right for your application.
‡Direct thermal labels do not need ribbon.
‡Thermal transfer labels need thermal transfer ribbon.
Printhead pressure and the darkness setting affect print quality. If the darkness setting is too high for the labels and ribbon being used, it causes premature printhead wear. If the toggle pressure is not even, labels and ribbon may slip.
Toggle adjustment may be needed if printing is too light on one side or if thick labels are used. Make sure that the toggles are positioned properly.
Both toggles should be positioned so they provide even pressure on the labels. The toggles are positioned by sliding them to the desired location.
‡If you are using a 90XiIIIPlus or 96XiIIIPlus printer, position the single toggle over the center of the labels.
‡All other printer models have two toggles. If the labels are too narrow to fit both toggles, position one toggle over the center of the labels and decrease the pressure on the unused toggle.
If positioning the toggles properly does not solve the problem, adjust printhead pressure.
