Adjusting the Printhead Pressure Dials
Two dials are located on either edge of the printhead assembly. Use a coin or flathead
screwdriver to adjust the dials based on the width of your supply. The "out of the box"
setting (default) is least pressure, which provides optimal printing in most cases.
If you see smudging, ribbon wrinkling, or poor print quality, adjust the printhead pressure
dials.
Note:
Both dials must be set to the same position.
