Printhead Pressure Adjustment Knobs
Adjust printhead pressure under these conditions:
1. Printing with thick media. If media thickness is larger than 0.19 mm, higher pressure is required to
achieve good quality printouts.
2. Printing with narrow media. If media width is less than 4 inches wide, the printhead pressure must
be adjusted to avoid ribbon wrinkles.
There are five levels of pressure adjustments. Level 1 is the minimum pressure and level 5 is the
maximum pressure.
Example: If the label width is 4 inches, set both printhead pressure adjustment knobs to the same level. If
the label is less than 2 inches wide, increase the left side printhead pressure by rotating the adjustment
knob clockwise and decrease the right side pressure by rotating the adjustment knob counterclockwise to
level 1.
Note: Refer to the diagram on page 53 to adjust the platen position to accommodate media thicker than
0.19 mm (0.0075 in).
