Printhead Pressure Adjustment
This adjustment may be necessary if printing is too light on one side or if thick media is used.
Refer to Figure 27.
The pressure adjustment dials each 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 following table will help you to select the initial dial settings for your media.
Media Width | Left Dial | Right Dial | |
1” (25.4 mm) | 3 | 1 | |
2” (51 mm) | 4 | 1 | |
3” (76 mm) | 3 | 2 | |
3.5” and up | 3 | 3 | |
(89 mm and up) | |||

NOTE: Some media types require higher pressure to print well. For these media, increase both dials one position. If the media tends to shift to the left while printing, increase the right dial setting one position or decrease the left dial setting one position. If the media tends to shift to the right while printing, increase the left dial setting one position or decrease the right dial setting one position.
