Adjust Printhead Pressure and Toggle Position
Print quality depends on the labels and ribbon used as well as the toggle pressure and position.
Make sure that your labels and ribbon are acceptable for your application. If they are, check
the toggle position and then the printhead pressure.
Toggle Position Adjustment
You may need to adjust the toggles if printing is too light on one side or if thick labels are used.
If the toggle pressure is too light or uneven, the labels and ribbon may slip.
To position the toggles, complete these steps:
1. Print some labels at 2 in. (51 mm) per second by running the PAUSE Self Test (see PA U S E
Self Test on page 150).
2. While printing labels, use the control panel to lower the darkness setting until the labels
are printing gray instead of black (see Print Darkness on page 83).
3.
4.
Position the toggles approximately 1/4 of the way in from each edge of the media. (For
extremely narrow media, position one toggle over the center of the labels, and decrease
the pressure on the unused toggle.)
Caution • The printhead may be hot and could cause severe burns. Allow the
printhead to cool.
Loosen the locking nut at the top of each toggle assembly.
