Adjusting the Printhead Pressure

The printhead pressure can be changed with the screws (1a) and (1b) at the inside and outside of the printhead.
Increasing the printhead pressure leads to an improvement of the print image density on the corresponding side and
to a shifting of the ribbon feed path to the opposite side.

1. Turn the adjustment screws (1a, 1b) counterclockwise until turning becomes perceptibly easy.
2. Reduce the Heat level in the printer configuration until the print image is only barely recognizable. Under these
conditions, inaccuracies become clearly visible during adjustment.
3. Create print samples with the test function Test grid ( Configuration Manual) or a similar print pattern.
4. Adjust the adjustment screw (1a or 1b) clockwise in small increments on the side with the weaker print image until
the print image is even across the entire width.
5. Set the original Heat level in the printer configuration.
