  Light print images on your SATO Printer may be due to low print head energy, so adjust the darkness level. Also, check the print head pressure and adjust the head pressure and/or balance. Clean the print head and rollers if there's foreign material. Ensure proper head alignment, and reduce the print speed setting if it is excessive.
