Adjusting the Printhead Pressure, Toggle Position, and Balance

Adjusting the Printhead Pressure, Toggle Position, and Balance

The printhead pressure toggles can be adjusted to create more or less pressure, as needed. They can also be moved from side to side to adjust the pressure in certain areas. For more complex issues, adjusting the printhead balance may help.

You may need to adjust printhead pressure and the toggle position if one or more of these occur:
  • You use thick or narrow media.
  • Printing is too light on one side.
  • The ribbon wrinkles during printing. (Go to Ribbon Issues.)
  • Media or ribbon tend to slip.
  • Media drifts from side to side during printing.
