Adjusting the Printer
Keeping the printhead properly balanced is crucial for obtaining high
quality printouts. You can adjust the:
• printhead pressure.
• printhead alignment.
• printhead sensor mode (dotline).
Adjusting the Thermal Printhead Pressure (PF8t Only)
When you print with different label materials or use different types of
ribbons on the PF8t, print quality may be affected due to differences
in the material. If this happens, adjust the thermal printhead pressure
appropriately for the type of material you are using.
To adjust thermal printhead pressure
1 Turn off power to the printer.
2 Press the cover open buttons on both sides, and open the cover.
3 Use a slotted screwdriver to turn the screws clockwise to increase
printhead pressure or counterclockwise to decrease printhead
pressure.
