  If you're experiencing an overall weak printout with your Intermec Label Maker, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to a wrong 'Paper Type' parameter or a contrast value that is too low; in either case, you should change the parameter. Another reason could be printhead pressure being too low, which requires adjusting both knobs. In more serious cases, it could be a worn printhead needing replacement or a wrong printhead voltage, which means replacing the CPU board.

  Weak spots on your Intermec Label Maker's printouts can stem from several issues. Foreign particles on the media or ribbon could be the culprit; try cleaning or replacing them. An incompatibility between the media and ribbon could also cause this, so change to matching media. Poor quality media or ribbon is another possibility; consider using Intermec media/ribbon. In some cases, a worn printhead or platen roller might be the cause, requiring replacement or checking.
