Printhead Pressure Block Adjustments

The Printhead Pressure Pad Adjustments are used to obtain best
printing results under a variety of media and ribbon conditions.
Under normal printing conditions, the optimum position of the left
pressure block when its handle detent is positioned in the notch in
the pivoting deck. If media/ribbon widths of less than one-third the
printer's maximum printing width are used, it may be necessary to
move the left pressure block further left by using the handle and
overriding the detent. The left pressure block can only be moved
manually using its handle.
