Adjustments
Toggle Positioning
Note: The 105Se has one toggle, the 160S printer has two toggles.
The toggle(s) should be positioned to provide even pressure on the me-
dia. Toggles are positioned by sliding them left or right to the
desired location. On the 105Se, the single toggle should normally be
positioned over the center of the media. If your printer has two toggles
and you are using media too narrow to accommodate both toggles, posi-
tion one toggle over the center of the media and decrease the pressure
on the unused toggle.
Printhead Pressure Adjustment
If printing is too light on one side, or if thick media is used, you may
need to adjust the printhead pressure. Refer to Figure 7.1 and follow
the procedure below.
1. Perform a PAUSE Key Self Test.
2. Lower the Darkness Setting until the printing is gray.
3. Loosen the Toggle Position locking nut(s) located inside the “U”
shaped bracket at the top of the toggle.
4. Slide toggle(s) in the direction of the light printing.
5. Using the knurled Adjusting Nuts on the shaft(s) of the toggle(s), in-
crease or decrease spring pressure until the left and right edges of the
printed area are equally dark.
6. Increase Darkness to optimum level for the media being used.
7. Retighten the Toggle Position locking nut(s).
Note: Printhead life can be maximized by using the lowest pressure
that produces the desired print quality.
