Adjusting the Printhead Pressure Dials

The default setting is least pressure, which provides optimal printing in most cases. If you see smudging, ribbon wrinkling, or poor print quality, you may need to adjust the printhead pressure dials.

The two dials are located on either edge of the printhead assembly (inside and outside). The dials may be set to different positions; however, the inside dial should be equal to or more pressure than the outside dial. When using 4” wide supply both knobs should be set at equal pressure. Use a coin or flathead screwdriver to adjust the dials.

Printhead Pressure Dials

Each dial has four settings:

 Least pressure  Light pressure  Medium pressure  Most pressure

Print a test label to check the printhead pressure; make adjustments as necessary. Refer to the Operator’s Handbook for additional information.

RFID (if installed)

The 9906 printer with RFID has been engineered to program (encode) an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) label (commonly called “RFID tags”) before the label’s format is printed. RFID tags contain an embedded RFID inlay (chip and antenna).

RFID is only available using die cut or black mark supplies. The printer supports Class 1 Generation 2 (C1Gen2) protocol

encoding.

RFID supplies can be damaged by static electricity. Ground yourself by touching metal, such as the printer’s metal base, before handling the supplies.

The UHF radio operates in the 902 – 928 MHz frequency range in accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations.

RFID Setup Menu

Use the RFID Setup Menu to Read a tag, set the RF Power, and Clear Data.

The Read Tag menu item lets you read the EPC data programmed into an RFID tag.

Refer to the RFID Web Setup Utility at

http://www.servisource1.com/prnutil/rfidsetup

Power setting. The printer stores the number of successful and failed

programmed tags. Clear this record using the Clear Data menu item. Depending on your application and volume of labels printed, you may want to clear this data daily or after each batch.

To access the RFID settings, from the Main Menu select Setup, then RFID.

SELECT BACK

If the RFID tag is not programmable for any reason, the label may print with an overstrike pattern, indicating that it should not be used. Your System Administrator should set the desired Error Action accordingly.

If you see RFID errors 740 – 749, see your System Administrator.

Refer to the Operator’s Handbook and Application Notes for more information.

Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and their solutions.

Problem Action

Error message appears during startup

Does not print.

Does not feed. Adjust the printhead pressure dials. Partially printed data.

Light/Heavy printing, printing shadows or voids.

Serial bar codes do not scan.

Liner is wrapped around platen or peel roller.

Printer does not read or program the RFID tag.

Turn off the printer, wait fifteen seconds and then turn on the printer. Call Customer Service if the error message reappears.

Check supply and ribbon, send a corrected format and batch packet.

Clean the printhead, send a corrected format packet.

Clean the printhead, change supply, adjust the print contrast, check the printhead pressure dials, check the ribbon.

Leave printhead unlatched when not in use, use a print speed of 2.5 ips, adjust the print contrast.

Carefully remove the liner. Make sure the liner tears at the saw-toothed tear edge when using backfeed and peel mode.
