Chapter 13 Adjustments
Printhead
Pressure
The pressure of the thermal printhead against the ribbon or media is
factory-adjusted. However, the use of thicker or thinner media than
normal could require the printhead pressure to be readjusted.
Using a straight-slot screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw clockwise
for more pressure (+) or counterclockwise for less pressure (-).
Print a few labels, preferably test labels (see Chapter 7 “Setting Up
the Printer”), and check the printout. Increased pressure generally
gives a darker printout and vice versa. Repeat until the desired
result is obtained.
To return to the factory setting, tighten the screw (+) as far as it goes
and then loosen it (-) six full turns.
Caution!
Do not use a higher printhead pressure than necessary because it
may increase the wear of the printhead and shorten its life.
