Adjust the Printhead Pressure

You may need to adjust printhead pressure if printing is too light on one side, if you use thick

media, or if the media drifts from side to side during printing. Use the lowest printhead

pressure necessary to produce good print quality.

See Figure 2. The printhead pressure adjustment dials have setting marks from 1 to 4.
