11. Loosen the clamp screw and move the transfer sensor towards the leading edge of the transfer image closest to the sealing iron. When the edge of the image is detected by the transfer sensor, an asterisk ( * ) will appear on the display next to the feed length. When you see the asterisk ( * ), on the display, tighten the clamp screw.
6.3 ADJUSTING THE PRINTING PRESSURE AND PLATEN HEIGHT PRINTING PRESSURE Printing pressure is preset at the factory to 50 PSI. The printing pressure range is from 25 PSI (1.8 BAR) minimum to 70 PSI (4.8 BAR) maximum. NEVER EXCEED 70 PSI. In general, the larger the printing area, the higher the pressure required.
