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
