10.6 Adjusting Printhead Pressure

The printer has two head pressure settings to support both narrow and wide media types.
The printhead pressure is typically changed to a lighter pressure when the media being
used is 2" wide or less. Extra drag on the platen may cause feeding issues if a heavy spring
pressure is used with the narrow stock types.
The heavy spring pressure is typically used on media that is over 2" wide. The spring
pressure is not intended to overcome print quality issues. If light print is detected, please
adjust your printer's contrast setting (^D36) and/or verify that the thermal coating on the
media is sufficient.
