The print quality is poor.

Check the following:


Are dust or adhesive accumulated on the Print Head or Platen Roller?

Clean the Print Head and Platen Roller. For details, see the FAQ: "How to clean the Print Head" or "How to clean the Platen Roller".

 

Is the print density set correctly?
Adjust the print density and print speed.
You can check the settings in the BPM (Brother Printer Management Tool) as follows:

  1. Connect your computer and the printer, and then make sure that the printer is turned on.
  2. Start the BPM, and then click the Printer Configuration button.
  3. Check the Density and Speed settings in the FBPL tab.

Run the printer self-test and check the Print Head test pattern at the bottom of the self-test printout to see if there is dot missing in the pattern. To learn how to print the self-test, see the FAQ: "Printing the printer configuration (Self-test)".

 

Is the Print Head tension adjusted correctly?
For the best print quality, adjust the Print Head tension using the Print Head Tension Adjustment Knob. Choose one of six levels of tension adjustment depending on the media width you use (1″ - 2″ (25.4 mm - 50.8 mm) or 3″ - 4″ (76.2 mm - 101.6 mm)).

 

Adjust Print Head tension

1.  For 1″ - 2″ (25.4 mm - 50.8 mm) media width
2.  For 3″ - 4″ (76.2 mm - 101.6 mm) media width
