Heat Settings for Print Darkness
With the use of Brady material, the heat settings in the setup print parameters
menu may vary greatly. Setting the heat excessively high can result in not
only melting the ribbon but also damaging the printhead. If your material does
not have a recommended heat setting, it is recommended that you set the
heat at -20, which is the lowest possible value. At this point print a label and
evaluate it for quality. If the label is too light, change the heat setting by one or
two values in the positive direction and retry printing a label. Keep repeating
this process until you get a quality label. Once you have determined the heat
setting for this particular material, record it so that the next time you use this
material you will know where to set the heat settings.
Heat settings can also be adjusted in your Brady software.
Speed Settings for Registration
Recommended speed is one or two inches per second.
