What to move first when fill-in shows on a pharma label
When fill-in shows on a pharma label, reduce the ink or drop the pressure first. Do not hide it by raising the screen ruling. Change only this one thing, then look again in the same place. Fine type gets thicker. Reverse type gets smaller or plugs.

Move one thing first
Stop if the smallest type cannot be read, or if a barcode plugs. On a pharma label, if it has already hit the lot number, the expiry, or a barcode, stop first and then adjust. Do not try it while you keep printing. When register is off, the type is still clear. It is only shifted.

| Reduce the ink or drop the pressure first. Do not hide it by raising the screen ruling. | Change ink, pressure, and speed together | Change three things at once and you will not know which one worked |
| It has already landed on the lot number, the expiry, or a barcode | Keep running while you try | Scrap keeps moving |
| Write down the type size, the ink, and the pressure. | Only say you already adjusted it | The next shift cannot pick it up |
Leave this when you are done
