Ribbon tension
Using LabelTac
Ribbon tension
Print head pressure adjustment knobs are located
on the top of the LabelTac 9’s print heads.
They have 5 levels of pressure- higher numbers
increase the print head pressure.
Your LabelTac 9 printer has been fully tested before delivery.
There should be no issues with ribbon “wrinkle”- but in case
you do experience ribbon wrinkle, follow the instructions
below to resolve.
Ribbon wrinkle displays as diagonal lines of missing print
across your label, either from top-left to bottom-right, or from
top-right to bottom-left.
Wrinkle direction
Solution
Top-Left to Bottom-Right
Decrease the left side print head pressure
knobs by 1, then print label/sign again to see if
the problem is resolved.
If the left side knobs are already at 1, increase
the right side print head pressure instead.
Top-Right to Bottom-Left
Decrease the right side print head pressure
knobs by 1, then print label/sign again to see if
the problem is resolved.
If the right side knobs are already at 1,
increase the left side print head pressure
instead.
