Supplies and Driver Settings

Best for Photos mode is best used for photographic images

where accurate color reproduction is very essential. Images

printed in this mode will look lighter than those printed in

Photo mode. Skin tones especially will look more natural in

this mode.

NOTE: Exact color matching of the printed labels to the screen may never be

possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers con-

trol. The surface of the label reacts with the ink in the cartridge to

produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to

different types of labels with different surfaces the printed output can

look entirely different.

Ink Saturation

This option controls the amount of ink used when printing an

image. The default setting is 100%, which will provide the

most accurate color matching. If the ink is not drying fast

enough or bleeding, you can decrease the Ink Saturation to

lessen the amount of ink that is applied to the label.

Left Margin Offset

This will be factory calibrated. If fine tuning is needed, increase

this setting to move the image right on the label; decrease this

setting to move the image to the left on the label. The unit of

measure is 0.1mm.

On a Mac the following settings can be found by clicking

the Config. Utility button.

Cartridge Alignment

Cartridge alignment will align the Black Cartridge to the Color

Cartridge. You will automatically be prompted to perform this

alignment each time you install a new cartridge. If you find

that the black objects are not aligning properly with color

objects on your label you can run the alignment procedure

from the printer driver. Click on Cartridge Alignment and

you will see a Properties button. Press this button to start the

Alignment procedure. You will be prompted to have label

stock of 4"x4" (101.6mm x 101.6mm) or larger. If the loaded

stock does not meet this requirement it can be unloaded by

pressing the Unload button. Insert larger stock or feed a
