Printhead Pressure Adjustment - Datamax H Class Operator's Manual

Printhead Pressure Adjustment

To accommodate a variety of media types, the pressure applied by the printhead assembly is
adjustable. Factory set to work with most media types, the Printhead Pressure Adjustment
should only be performed after attempting to improve print quality through the use of the print
quality controls.
When adjusting, only use the minimum pressure necessary to improve print quality, as follows:
1. Load the printer with media, see 'Media Loading'.
2. Print a test label from the Test Menu or host computer.
3. Using a small coin or screwdriver, turn each of the Printhead Pressure Adjustment Screws
so that the arrows on the screws equally point to the desired setting.
Note: Excessive pressure can reduce the service life of the printhead and platen roller.
