The pressure of the thermal printhead against the platen roller is
factory-adjusted. However, if the printing is weaker on one side
of the media, or if the thermal transfer ribbon starts to crease
(indicated by unprinted white streaks along the media feed
direction), it may be necessary to readjust the printhead pressure.
1 Open the side door.
2 Remove the ribbon.
3 Lift the printhead by pulling the printhead lever out and
flipping it a quarter of a turn counterclockwise.
4 Use a straight-slot screwdriver to turn the screw at the top of
the balance boxes clockwise to increase the pressure, or
counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.
Note: Before readjusting the printhead pressure, try
the to move the outer balance box as described in
Adjusting Printhead Balance procedure.
