Heat
Print head heat may be decreased or increased by pressing the
deC
and
inC
soft keys or by using the direction pad .
This setting is useful when printed characters appear spotty, blurred, uneven,
too dense or faint. Increasing heat causes printed characters to appear darker
and denser. Too much heat, however, can cause an undesirable pattern to ap-
pear or may even burn through the ribbon. Adjust the temperature to achieve
optimal print quality.
