Printhead Pressure Adjustment (for Zebra Printers)

The following procedure is specific to Zebra printers, but can be

used to help determine how to adjust the printhead pressure on

other types of printers.

If printhead pressure must be adjusted (for example if the printer is

printing too light on one side of the label, or if a thick media is used),

follow these steps (or those specified by your thermal transfer

printer manufacturer).

1. Lower the Darkness setting and print PAUSE test label at

speed A.

2. Loosen the knurled (upper) locking nut.

3. Increase or decrease spring pressure (using the knurled

adjustment nut on the shaft of the toggle) until the left and

right edges of the printed area are equally dark.

4. Increase Darkness to optimum level for the media being

used.

5. Retighten locking nut.
