When you print with different label materials or use different types of
ribbons on the PF8t printer, print quality may be affected due to
differences in the material. If this happens, adjust the thermal
printhead pressure appropriately for the type of material you are
using.
To adjust thermal printhead pressure
1 Turn off power to the printer.
2 Press the cover open buttons on both sides of the case to open the
top cover. Lift the cover upwards and rearwards.
3 Using a straight-slot screwdriver, turn the screws clockwise to
increase printhead pressure or counterclockwise to decrease
printhead pressure.
