Troubleshooting and Maintenance

B. SOLVING PRINT QUALITY PROBLEMS

Many factors can affect the quality of the print. The following

are listed in order from most likely to least likely:
1.

Quality Setting.

Change your quality setting. The lowest

(and fastest printing) quality may not be sufficient for many

photos or graphics. The highest quality setting may cause

ink to bleed on certain graphics in combination with certain

label stock. Increasing the quality increases print time

because the printer makes more horizontal movements

across the label.

Clean the Cartridge.

Run an automatic cleaning print or

manually clean the cartridge as described in Section 5D .

Change Cartridge.

Try a new cartridge. Make sure that the

ink cartridge has ink remaining. Check the ink levels via

the PrintHub.

Align Print Head.

Normally, print head alignment is

only necessary after changing a print head. However, in

certain cases, running the alignment again can improve

print quality. Align the print head by opening the

PrintHub. Click on the Align Print Head button on the

Cartridge Utilities Tab (second tab). Follow the onscreen

prompts to load your paper for alignment.
