WARNING: Unless indicated otherwise, turn printer power OFF before

performing maintenance procedures.

Due to differences in types of media/ribbon and wear on thermal printhead

elements, it may be necessary to adjust the Print Darkness Setting to achieve

proper printing. To adjust the Print Darkness, follow the procedure below. It is

not necessary to turn the printer power OFF to adjust this parameter.

CAUTION: Set the Print Darkness to the lowest setting possible for the

desired print quality. Darkness set too high for a given ribbon may cause ink

smearing, ribbon wrinkle and/or burning-through of the ribbon.

1. Begin printing a batch of labels. Use a Self Test Label (see Chapter 3) or

one of your own label formats.

2. Pause the printing by pressing the “PAUSE” Key.

3. Press the “MODE” Key once to set the printer in “Darkness Adjust Mode.”

(The DARKEN light should turn ON.)

4. Press the UP or DOWN Arrow Keys to increase or decrease the Darkness

level. Each press changes the level one increment.
