Adjusting the Printhead Pressure

Adjust printhead pressure if print darkness is inconsistent across the label.

NOTE: In general, use a higher setting for wide labels and a lower setting for narrow labels.

There are four printhead pressure settings (see Figure 21). Depending on whether you want to increase or decrease the printhead pressure, slide the printhead pressure adjuster toward the back or front of the printer. Then, print another test label. Repeat this procedure until you achieve the desired results.

WARNING: NEVER tighten or loosen the two screws that secure the printhead to the bracket! They are not used to adjust printhead pressure!
