8.3. Check the Printhead Pressure
A correction of the pressure values of both printheads is
necessary, if the thickness of the new printmedia is bigger or
smaller than the previous one.
In addition the pressure values can be modified in order to
adapt the characteristics of the consumables. An increase of
the pressure value of a printhead, for example, can improve the
transfer of the image onto the printmedia.

While printing narrow media the printhead may come in contact with

The operation steps to adjust the pressure value are described in
section 5.3.
Please consider that increasing the pressure value will increase the
friction between printhead, ribbon, printmedia and the platen roller,
too.
The abrasion of the concerning components (for example the
printhead surface) will be accelerated considerably due to the
increase of the pressure value.
