SP Series Info Central: Setup
Suggested process
1
Make sure the printer is powered on and is directly connected to the PC.
2
Identify the setting to change and the result you want. (Stating the desired result in a measurable way can help
you identify when you have met your goal.)
3
Make a test card (or sample card) and record the current values for the setting to change. Also record the date
and sequence number (beginning with 1). Use the same test or sample card at each step.
4
Change the setting and apply the change.
5
Make another test or sample card. Record the new setting and sequence number.
6
Evaluate the result on the card.
— If the result meets the goal, you have completed the process.
— If the result does not meet the goal, return to step 4. Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 until you meet the stated goal.
— If you have repeated the steps several times but are not making progress toward the stated goal, consider
whether the goal is possible and whether changing this setting will lead to the goal. Return to the settings
recorded in step 1.
Change printing intensity
1
Make sure the Printer Toolbox is open. Double-click the icon in the system tray if needed.
2
Select the Advanced Setup button on the Printer Toolbox.
— The printer driver changes from printing mode to Advanced Setup mode, and additional tabs appear on the
Printer Toolbox.
3
Click the Printhead tab to display the Printhead page.
— The driver obtains the values from the printer when the window opens. If the values were not available and
the “Printer not responding” message appears, click the Retry button. The printhead values must be
available to continue.
4
Click the Printer Test Card button to print a test card that serves as a baseline for the changes you make.
5
Mark the back of the test card with “1” and the intensity setting that you plan to change. For example, mark it “1-
K 0” if you plan to change the intensity for black (K) and the current value is 0.
6
To change the printhead intensity:
a
Select the Printing Power: Monochrome (K) for monochrome ribbon or panel; Topcoat for the topcoat panel.
The slider moves to the location that matches the current value and the current value appears.
b
Move the slider:
— You can use the mouse or the arrow keys (
←
→
) to move the slider.
— Move to the right to increase the power. Printing on the card will appear darker. If you selected the
topcoat panel type, the degree of coverage increases. If intensity is too high, the print ribbon will wrinkle
or break (or both), especially at the end of a panel.
— Move to the left to decrease the power. Printing on the card will appear lighter and ribbon is less likely to
break.
— Decrease the intensity for the topcoat only if the ribbon is melting when applying the topcoat.
Decreasing the intensity reduces the degree of coverage of the topcoat. Topcoat can affect the
durability of the image, and the degree of coverage can be difficult to detect.
c
Select the Apply Changes button to make the values take effect in the printer, OR select the Cancel
Changes button to return to the values displayed before you used the slider.
— The “Changes saved to printer” message appears when the values have been saved to the printer.
7
Select the Printer Test Card button.
