Why is the print quality poor on my TSC PEX-1131?
Poor print quality on your TSC printer can stem from several factors. Ensure the ribbon and media are loaded correctly. Dust or adhesive on the print head can also cause this, so clean it. Check your print density settings and adjust the print speed. Inspect the printhead for damage by running a self-test to check the print head test pattern for missing dots. Verify that your ribbon and media are compatible. Adjust the printhead pressure if it's not set properly. Also, make sure the release lever latches the printhead correctly.
What to do if my TSC PEX-1131 Printer has a paper jam?
