6.5.2 Changing the Print Darkness
If the print darkness is too low, it causes the printed image to appear faded.
If the print darkness is set too high, the edges of the printed image appears blurred. This will
also overdrive the printhead and shorten its lifetime.
Choose the lowest value of darkness that achieves a satisfactory quality print.
To set the print darkness, proceed as follows:
1. Navigate to Tools > Setup > Printhead. The Printhead screen is displayed (Figure 6-8 on page
6-10).
2. Touch Print Darkness.
3.
Touch or to make small adjustments in the parameter settings.
Alternatively, do one of the following to make changes in the settings:
• Type a new number using the keypad.
• Touch on the Min, Max, or Default buttons to select the minimum, maximum, or
default (standard) values.
4. Touch to save the settings.
5. Touch to return to the Home screen.
6.5.3 Setting the Print Delay
Note: This feature can be applied only on intermittent mode applications.
The print delay is the time interval between the printer receiving a print signal and starting a
print. It can be increased to ensure that the target material has come to a complete stop before the
printing starts. If printing occurs while the target material is still moving, the resulting image
may appear to be stretched or squashed. To enable maximum throughput, the print delay
should be set to the shortest time that produces consistent prints.
To change the print delay, proceed as follows:
1. Navigate to Tools > Setup > Printhead. The Printhead screen is displayed (Figure 6-8 on page
6-10).
2. Select the Print Delay parameter to open the print delay parameters setup.
3. Enter a new value using the keypad.
4. Touch to save the parameter settings.
5. Touch to return to the Home screen.
