Adjust Printhead Pressure
You may need to adjust printhead pressure if printing is too light on one side or if you use thick
media.
See Figure 25 . The Z4Mplus 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. For the Z6Mplus, the dials have seven settings instead of four.
