Adjust Printhead Pressure

Adjust Printhead Pressure

You may need to adjust printhead pressure if printing is too light on one side, if you use thick

media, or if the media drifts from side to side during printing.

See Figure 10. The ZM400 pressure adjustment dials have four possible settings designated by

blocks of increasing size embossed on the print mechanism. The smallest block (fully

counterclockwise) is considered position 1, and the largest block (fully clockwise) is

considered position 4. The ZM600 dials have seven settings instead of four.

To set printhead pressure, complete these steps:

1. Use Table 10 or Table 11 to select the initial dial settings for your media, depending on

which printer you have.
