Print Quality (continued)
Black line displays on first label
printed
When the cartridge is left in the
locked position (when not in use),
the print head is pressed against the
platen roller, causing a vertical
pressure point line (or residual burn
line) to appear on the tape.
Unlock the cartridge as soon as you
are done printing more labels. This
will prevent the warm print head
from burning the ink from the
ribbon onto the next label under the
print head.
