Printhead Pressure Adjustment

If positioning the toggles properly does not solve a print quality problem, try adjusting the
printhead pressure. Maximize printhead life by using the lowest pressure that produces the
desired print quality.

To adjust printhead pressure, complete these steps:

1.

Print some labels at 2.4 in.

(61 mm) per second by running the

PAUSE Self Test

on page 153

.

2.

While printing labels, use the control panel controls to lower the darkness setting until the
labels are printing gray instead of black.

3.

Loosen the upper knurled nuts on the toggle assemblies (1).

Caution • Observe proper electrostatic safety precautions when handling any
static-sensitive components such as circuit boards and printheads.
