Adjusting Print Energy

If your printing is spotty, try increasing the print energy to transfer more of the

ribbon ink to the label. However, if the ribbon sticks or tears during printing, the

heat energy may be too high and should be reduced.

CAUTION!

Constantly printing at high energy levels may cause printer jams or other printing

errors and may reduce the overall life of your printhead.

To adjust the print energy:

1. With a defined label in the Editor, select Print .

2. In the Print dialog, select Advanced Settings .

3. In the Print Energy area, select the appropriate box to increase or decrease

the print energy level.

Note: By default, the print energy is at the nominal setting for the best overall

performance.

4. Select OK . The print energy level is changed and the Print dialog box is

displayed.

5. Choose your print options and select Start Print . The system uses the

new setting for printing the label(s) in this print job.

Note: The selected print energy setting will stay in effect for all subsequent

print jobs with the currently installed media. When new media is installed, the

print energy level is reset to the default setting. The print energy level is also

reset by rebooting the system.
