Introduction
2. Avoid excessive printhead pressure, usually indicated by white wear
spots on the printhead element. Reduce the pressure until you see print
quality problems, then increase the pressure slightly until you have good
print quality.
3. Avoid excessively high Intensity settings. Intensity is the burn
temperature that the printhead operates at. Lower temperatures will
increase the life of printheads. Reduce the Intensity setting until you see
print quality problems, then increase the setting slightly until you have
good print quality.
4. Clean and inspect the platen roller for excessive wear (light print) and
gouges (repeating voids).
5. Customer responsibilities: configuration, printhead installation, and
preventative maintenance. Refer to the User's Guide .
