Toggle Positioning

Proper Toggle positioning is important for proper print quality. The toggles should be

positioned 1/4 of the width in from the media edges (see Figure 12 inset).

To position the toggles, loosen the locking nuts (T) and slide them to the desired posi-

tion on the toggle pivot shaft (U); then, tighten the locking nuts.

NOTE: Perform the Printhead Pressure Adjustment which follows, and make sure

the toggle pressure is even, otherwise the media may drift or the ribbon may wrinkle.

Printhead Pressure Adjustment

If printing is too light, or if thick or thin media is used, printhead pressure may need to

be adjusted. During this adjustment procedure, refer to Figure 12 on page 47. (Use the

lowest pressure possible that provides the desired print quality.)

1. Refer to the Configuration process starting on page 11 and lower the darkness set-

ting (burn duration) to a value of “2” or “3”.

2. Refer to the PAUSE Key Self Test on page 43 and print test labels at 2” (50.8 mm)

per second.

3. Loosen the upper toggle adjusting nuts (R) on the threaded shafts of both toggle

assemblies.

4. Use the lower toggle adjusting nuts (S) to increase or decrease the spring pressure

until the left and right edges of the printed area are equally dark.

5. Increase darkness to the optimum level for the media being used.

6. Hold the lower toggle adjusting nuts (S) in position, and tighten the upper toggle

adjusting nuts (R) against them.

NOTE: Printhead and drive system (belts and bearings) life can be maximized by

using the lowest pressure that produces the desired print quality.
