Adjust Printhead Pressure and Toggle Position
Printhead pressure is one factor that affects print quality. If the toggle pressure is too light or uneven, the labels and ribbon may slip.
Important • Print quality depends on the labels and ribbon used as well as the toggle pressure. Make sure that your labels and ribbon are right for your application.
•Direct thermal media does not need ribbon.
•Thermal transfer media needs ribbon.
Toggle Position Adjustment
You may need to adjust the toggles if printing is too light on one side or if thick labels are used.
To position the toggles, complete these steps:
1.Loosen the locking nuts at the top of the toggle assemblies (Figure 30).

2.Slide the toggles until they provide even pressure on the media. For extremely narrow media, position one toggle over the center of the labels, and decrease the pressure on the unused toggle.
3.Tighten the locking nuts.
