QUICK SETUP Submenus

Print Intensity

Specifies the level of thermal energy from the printhead to be used for the type of media and ribbon installed.

Large numbers imply more heat (thermal energy) to be applied for each dot. This has a significant effect on print quality. The print intensity and speed must match the media and ribbon type to obtain the best possible print quality and barcode grades.

The range is -15 through +15:

•In Transfer mode, the factory default is -3.

•In Direct Thermal mode, the factory default is 0.

Print Speed

Specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at which the media passes through the printer while printing.

The range is 2 through 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).

The factory default is 6 ips.

NOTE: The maximum print speed varies based on maximum printer width and dot per inch (dpi) resolution of the printhead installed (203 or 300 dpi).

Print Mode

Specifies the type of printing to be done.

•Transfer. Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon installed).

•Direct. Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and requires special heat sensitive media.

The factory default is Transfer.
