Zebra Technologies LP 2824 manual Adjusting the Print Width, Adjusting the Print Quality

Page 26

Adjusting the Print Width

Print width must be calibrated when you use a roll with a different width from previous media.

Print width may be set by using the Set Label Width (Q) command (described in the programming guide).

Adjusting the Print Quality

Print quality is influenced by the heat of the print head, the speed of the media and the type of media you are using. Only by experimenting will you find the optimal mix for your application.

If you find that the print darkness needs to be adjusted, refer to the heat density (D) command (described in the programming guide).

If you find that the print speed needs to be adjusted, refer to the print speed (S) command (described in the programming guide).
