5. PRINTHEAD PRESSURE
5.1. Adjusting the printhead pressure
The printhead pressure can be changed with screws (1a) and (1b) at the inside and outside of the
printhead.
Increasing the printhead pressure leads to an improvement of the print image density on the
corresponding side and to a shifting of the ribbon feed path to the other side.
Caution!
Increasing printhead pressure, can reduce the life of the printhead and drive roller. Always ensure
printhead alignment and all other steps are carried out first.
1. Turn the adjustment screws (1a, 1b) counterclockwise until turning becomes perceptibly
easy.
2. Check print quality by printing a suitable label.
3. Adjust screws (1a or 1b) clockwise in small increments on the side with the weaker print
image, until the print image is even across the entire width.
