Adjusting The Print Contrast; Lubricating The Knife - Paxar 610 User Manual

Adjusting the Print Contrast

You may need to adjust the print contrast if the printing is too light or too dark. Having the
correct print contrast is important because it affects how well your bar codes scan and how
long your printhead lasts.
Using a thin screwdriver, turn contrast knob clockwise for darker print; turn counter-
clockwise for lighter print.

Lubricating the Knife

We recommend lubricating the knife after using 15 rolls of supply or performing 100,000
cuts.
To prevent excessive wear on the knife, regularly lubricate the knife cams. The cams are
located directly below the guiding holes.
To lubricate the knife:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Lightly coat a long cotton swab with
multi-purpose grease.
3. Insert the cotton swab into one of the two
guiding holes until it stops on the cam.
4. Move the cotton swab up and down
several times to coat the cam with
grease.
5. Repeat steps 2 – 4 for the other cam.
6. Wipe off any excess grease from the top
cover of the knife.
7. Turn on the printer.
