Printhead Pressure
If switching between very wide label media and very narrow label media, it may
be necessary to adjust the downward pressure on either side of the printheads.
Similarly, if switching between relatively thick media (such as card stock) and
thin media, printhead pressure adjustments may be necessary.
Downward pressure on each printhead is controlled by two printhead pressure
thumbwheels.

The inner thumbwheel increases or decreases pressure on the inner half of the
printhead. The outer thumbwheel increases or decreases pressure on the outer
half of the printhead.
Examine printed labels to determine necessary adjustments.
