This chapter explains how to optimize and maintain print quality, use printer memory
more efficiently, and maximize throughput.
Optimizing and Maintaining Print Quality
Intermec designed and configured the printer to provide the best possible print quality
for both direct thermal and thermal transfer media. If necessary, you can manually
adjust the printer to perform registration tasks such as correcting uneven print quality.
The following sections contain information on:
•
Correcting uneven print quality
•
Adjusting the print darkness
•
Fine-tuning the top of form position
•
Adjusting the label gap sensor
•
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 the 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.
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.
