This chapter explains how to optimize and maintain print quality, use the printer memory more efficiently, and maximize throughput.
Optimizing and Maintaining Print Quality
Intermec designed and configured your printer to provide the best possible print quality for both direct thermal and thermal transfer media. However, there are many factors that you need to take into account before you can achieve maximum print quality. The following sections contain information on:
•Correcting uneven print quality
•Adjusting the print darkness
•Adjusting the label mark sensor
•Using the printer memory efficiently
•Increasing throughput
Correcting Uneven Print Quality
You may experience problems in print quality (ribbon wrinkling or light print on one side of your label) if the printhead is not making even contact with the label stock. This condition can happen with any size label stock, but is most common when using narrow label stock. You need a
To achieve the best print quality, adjust the bias adjust screw each time you use media of a different width.
Note: You must properly adjust the bias adjust screw to prevent premature printhead failure and excessive platen wear.
