To adjust the printhead pressure 1 Turn the adjustment knob clockwise for more pressure and a darker printout (+) or counter-clockwise for less pressure (-) and a lighter printout. 2 Print test labels to check the print quality. For help, see "Printing a Test Label" on page 51. To return the printhead pressure to the factory default setting • Tighten the knob (+) as much as you can, and then loosen it (-) four full turns.
