Adjusting the Print Darkness

Use the darkness adjust control in combination with the PrintSet software configuration
tool to fine-tune the darkness of print on your labels. The fine adjustments compensate
for variations in the media (“lot to lot”), the printhead, or the printer. Set the darkness
adjust control after you enter the media sensitivity number.

To adjust the print darkness

1. Locate the darkness adjust control on the back of the printer.

2. Use a small straight-slot screwdriver to adjust the print darkness.

To increase the print darkness, turn the control clockwise.

To decrease the print darkness, turn the control counterclockwise.
