Adjusting the Print Darkness

Use the darkness adjust control in combination with the Print Darkness adjustment in
PrintSet to fine-tune the darkness of print on the labels. The fine adjustments
compensate for variations in the media ("lot to lot"), the printhead, or the printer. Set
the darkness adjust control after you enter the media sensitivity number.
For the best results in adjusting the print darkness (energy to the printhead), perform
these procedures in order:
1. Set the correct sensitivity number.
2. Adjust the manual darkness adjust control on the back of the printer.
3. Adjust the Print Darkness setting in PrintSet.
To adjust the manual darkness adjust control
1. Locate the darkness adjust control on the back of the printer.
2. Use a small straight-slot screwdriver to adjust the print darkness:
•
To increase the print darkness, turn the control clockwise.
•
To decrease the print darkness, turn the control counterclockwise.
