Adjust Printhead Balance and Pressure

Printhead toggle position (balance) and printhead pressure affect print quality. If the 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 position and pressure. Make sure that your labels and ribbon are right for your application.

Adjust Printhead Balance

You may need to adjust the printhead balance by moving the toggle if printing is too light on one side of the labels.

To position the toggle, complete these steps:

1.Print some labels at 2.4 in. (61 mm) per second by running the PAUSE Self Test on page 133.

2.While printing labels, use the control panel to lower the darkness setting until the labels are printing gray instead of black. See Adjust Print Darkness on page 79 for instructions.

3.Loosen the locking nut at the top of the toggle assembly.

4.Position the toggle over the center of the labels by sliding it to the left or right.
