Toggle Positioning
See Figure 45. The toggle should be positioned so that it provides even pressure on the media.
Position the toggle by sliding it to the desired location.
Figure 45 • Toggle Adjustment
Printhead Pressure Adjustment
This adjustment may be necessary if printing is too light on one side or if thick media is used.
Refer to Figure 45.
1. Perform the toggle positioning procedure. If the problem is solved, you may stop here;
otherwise, continue with the rest of this procedure.
2. Print some labels at speed A by running the PAUSE Key Self Test (see page 87).
3. While printing labels, lower the darkness setting until you see a gray level of printing.
4. Loosen the knurled (upper) locking nuts at the top of the toggle assembly/assemblies.
5. Increase or decrease spring pressure using the knurled (lower) adjusting nuts on the shafts
of the toggle until the left and right edges of the printed area are equally dark.
6. Increase darkness setting to the optimum level for the media being used.
7. Re-tighten locking nuts.
Media Sensor Position Adjustment
See Positioning the Media (Transmissive) Sensors on page 38.
Note • Printhead life can be maximized by using the lowest pressure that produces the
desired print quality.
