Adjusting the Print Darkness

The relative darkness setting is software controlled. Follow the in-

structions in your label preparation software user’s manual.

Adjusting the Printhead Pressure

Adjust printhead pressure if print darkness is inconsistent across

the label.

 NOTE:  In general, use a higher setting for wide labels and

lower setting for narrow labels.

There are four printhead pressure settings (see Figure 22). Depend-

ing on whether you want to increase or decrease the printhead pres-

sure, slide the printhead pressure adjuster toward the back or front of

the printer. Then, print another test label. Repeat this procedure until

you achieve the desired results.

WARNING:  NEVER tighten or loosen the two screws

that secure the printhead to the bracket! They are not

used to adjust printhead pressure
