TROUBLESHOOTING

• POOR PRINT QUALITY
If you are having issues with poor print quality from your LabelTac 4 PRO printer, do
not hesitate to give us a call at (866) 777-1360, and one of our support representatives
would be glad to help get your printer functioning optimally.
Typically poor print quality is resolved by adjusting the print speed and/or density (la-
beled as "darkness") in the printing preferences, and/or setting the "print orientation".
You can reach these screens by going to:
Start -> Devices and Printers -> LabelTac 4 -> Printing Preferences -> Page Setup/Options
b)
c)
a)
We find the following settings work best with the LabelTac 4 PRO Printer
a) In Page Setup, under orientation, select Landscape 180. This will just change the
direction that the printhead will print the label. This will not chage the format of your
printed label (portrait/landscape). This generally gives the best search results.
*Important*
b) & c) If you are getting speckles or inconsistent printing , try lowering the print
(fig.1)
speed, and/or adjusting the density (darkness). We find that a setting of 2.00 in/sec
and print density of 6 or 7 produces the best results. If you get arched heat lines in
your print , this means the print ribbon is getting too hot- in this case, try lowering
(fig.2)
the density (darkness) and/or raising the print speed.
