TSC TTP-368MT Series - Print Head Pressure Adjustment Knob

45
4.2 Print Head Pressure Adjustment Knob
There are two conditions that will need to adjust the print head pressure.
1. Print with thick media
If media thickness is larger than 0.19 mm, the larger pressure is required to get good
quality printout.
2. Edge alignment media
The media alignment is designed at the left edge of mechanism to keep the
pressure balance between print head, media and ribbon.
There are 5 levels of pressure for adjustment. Level 1 is the minimum pressure and level 5 is
the maximum pressure.
For example, if the label width is 6”, adjust both print head pressure adjustment knobs to the
same level. If the label is less than 2” wide, increase the left side print head pressure by
rotating the adjustment knob clockwise and decrease the right side pressure by rotating the
adjustment knob counter-clockwise to level 1. If the left side print head adjustment knob
setting has been set to 5 (the highest pressure index) than increase the middle print head
pressure.
Please refer to the following pressure knob
adjustment recommendation.
