• For manually setting the Strobe Setting, use the Slider Bar to adjust strobe over a
range of values. In general, higher strobe settings results in darker labeling.
• If label is too dark reduce strobe setting by 5 units and re-print, repeat this process
until proper print out is obtained.
• If label is too light increase strobe setting by 5 units and re-print, repeat this
process until proper print out occurs. In some cases a very high strobe setting will
result in too light a print, and increasing the strobe setting further may cause the
ribbon to melt or tear when printing. This may then require cleaning the print
head (see Maintenance Section for print head cleaning information).
