Adjusting Printhead Pressure
The pressure of the thermal printhead against the platen roller is
adjusted at the factory. You may need to readjust the printhead
pressure 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).
To adjust the printhead pressure
1 If you have installed thermal transfer ribbon, remove it.
2 Pull out on the printhead lever and turn it counterclockwise to lift
the printhead.
Note: Before adjusting the printhead pressure, try to move the outer
balance box as described in the the previous procedure, “Adjusting
Printhead Balance.”
