copies or prints to dark or both????

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/normanj_7893313f0751935f

there is a option u can do it dark and light,,,
press dark or light botton, than its gives u dark print ,,
if there is ok than change your cartridge,

check the fuser... to see if one of the rollers has toner all over it... then check your paper path... to see if you see any obvious signs... then try printing 20 pages and opening the copier at various times during the printout process... you want to see if you can catch it where the dark starts appearing... chances are where it starts... is right next to the bad part... you are looking for a print out with one half no dark and the other half real dark...

In your label software there should be a setting option for print darkness (I assume it adjusts the head temperature) In ours (bartender) you can get to it when you select 'print' and a window appears with a 'documents properties' button. Click on this and select options and a darkness bar appears which you can adjust. You may also need to slow the label print speed if the darkness adjustment is not enough. I suspect it isn't in the printers best interest to run the print head at maximum darkness/heat so a sensible balance of darkness and print speed is best.
Another, less likely, possibility is an incompatability between the label material or surface finish, and the ribbon type. We did have a problem once whem Homebase changed their price label design and we had to test a load of other ribbon types until we got one that did the job. A chat with the label or ribbon supplier is always usefull, they sent us several sample bits to test.

go to the print settings select the dark scale
u can get print darker than the previous

go to printer driver properties.. 1.click printing preferences set it to USE PRINTER CONFIGURATION 2.go to advance click Printing Defaults set it to USE PRINTER CONFIGURATION

Dark streaks are an indication of "burned" or overheated ink. This will occur when the printer sets for a long period of time and nothing is printed. The problem will usually disappear after 50 pages or so, unless the printhead is damaged.

If the print remains dark, the printhead will need replaced.
(Very expensive)

(Dark print can also be caused by using Non-Xerox ink)
