• 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. Please note: if strobe setting is above the 15
unit range or higher and print is light, first try a lower strobe setting in the 15 unit
range and increase the strobe. 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).
