Print Energy
Output Settings
Output Settings let you set the print energy and print speed. You can also set
when you want to cut the label, set mirror printing on or off and change the
horizontal and vertical offset.
Note: If password protection has been implemented, you will need to enter the
password to have access to these functions.
Print Energy
Optional print energy settings are set automatically by the smart cell for the
installed media and should only be changed if you are experiencing problems. For
example, if your printing is spotty, you may want to increase the print energy to
make sure more of the ribbon ink transfers to the label. However, if your ribbon is
sticking or tearing during printing, the heat energy may be too high and should be
reduced.
CAUTION!
Constantly printing at high energy levels may cause printer jams or other printing
errors and may reduce the overall life of your printhead.
To adjust the print energy:
1. Press to go to the navigation menu.
2. Press S or T to scroll to Output Settings.
3. Press to go to the submenu.
4. Press T to scroll to Print Energy, then press .
5. Press S or T to increase or decrease the print energy setting.
6. When done, press W twice to exit to the main menu.
Note: The selected print energy setting will stay in effect for all subsequent print
jobs with the currently installed media. When new media is installed, the print
energy level is reset to the default setting. The print energy level is also reset by
rebooting the system.
