Adjust Printhead Pressure

Adjust 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.

See Figure 10. The ZM400 and RZ400 pressure adjustment dials 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. The ZM600 and RZ600 dials have seven settings instead of four.
