Printhead Pressure and Toggle Position
Pressure Adjustment
You may need to adjust the printhead pressure on the printer if:
• You are using thicker or thinner media than previously.
• Your thermal transfer ribbon starts to crease.
Do not use a higher printhead pressure than necessary. It may increase the wear on
the printhead and shorten its life.
1. Use your finger to turn the wheel to adjust pressure.
• Rotate the wheel clockwise to increase the pressure resulting in darker print.
• Rotate the wheel counterclockwise to decrease the pressure resulting in
lighter print.
2. Test for Print Quality
Note: On the toggle, the highest mark indicates Light pressure; the middle mark indicates
Middle pressure; the lowest mark indicates High pressure.
Toggle Position Adjustment
If the toggles are not adjusted in the correct position or do not apply the correct
pressure, the following issues may occur:
• Labels print lighter on one side than the other
• Media and ribbon may slip
• Ribbon may wrinkle
• Media may move from side to side during printing
