I am working with ribbon on my pm4i and the labels are printing to dark, how can I lighten up the labels

SOURCE: mis align printout

hi, its hard to say but.... does it feed ok or skip labels??? if it skips labels, the sensor will need replacement or adjustment, also download the latest drivers, and if your driver or software gives u the option, play around with the magnification settings, also double check length, borders etc, try making the label length setting appear longer , shorter etc. Hope this is of help to you,M,

Check your driver to make sure you have the correct resolution driver installed that matches your print head. For example, if your print head says 203 dpi on it but you install the 300 dpi driver, it can cause this problem.

You can adjust the darkness level +/- 10. If you adjust it all the way to 10 and it is still too light, there is a print head pressure adjustment screw to the left of the ribbon feed roller.

Check to make sure that the printer is set to Thermal Transfer and not Direct Thermal. If the printer is in Direct Thermal, the ribbon take-up does not turn.
If the printer is set to Thermal Transfer then I would suspect a bad Power Supply since the ribbon take-up is driven by the power supply and not off the main board.

SOURCE: Hi, can anyone think of why a Intermec PM4i

Make sure the platen is cleaned and there isn't too much tension on the print head.
