2.2.2 Pressure Adjustment
To maintain print quality across the variety of media types, the printhead pressure is adjustable. This
adjustment should only be performed, however, after attempting improvement using the HEAT and/or PRINT
SPEED settings. Use only the minimum pressure needed, following the steps below:
1. Load 4 inch (102mm) wide media (and ribbon, if needed). Then, disengage the Leveling Cam and latch
the Printhead Assembly.
2. Enter the Quick Test Mode then select 100 Print Quality Labels and press the button to begin
printing.
3. Turn each Pressure Adjustment Cam equally (counterclockwise to increase pressure or clockwise to
decrease it) until even print quality is achieved across the label.
