Printhead Pressure Adjustment 
To accommodate a variety of media types, the pressure applied by the printhead assembly is 
adjustable. Factory set to work with most media types, the Printhead Pressure Adjustment 
should only be performed after attempting to improve print quality through the use of the print 
quality controls.  
 
When adjusting, only use the minimum pressure necessary to improve print quality, as follows: 
 
1.   Load the printer with media, see 'Media Loading'. 
 
2.   Print a test label from the Test Menu or host computer. 
 
3.   Using a small coin or screwdriver, turn each of the Printhead Pressure Adjustment Screws 
so that the arrows on the screws equally point to the desired setting.  
 
 
 
 
 
Note: 
Excessive pressure can reduce the service life of the printhead and platen roller.
