Adjusting Print Darkness: Press the (+) key to increase

 

 

darkness. Press the (–) key to decrease darkness.

 

 

Default: +10

 

 

Range: 0 to +30

 

 

Darkness settings are dependent upon a variety of factors

 

 

including ribbon type, media, and the condition of the printhead.

 

 

You may adjust the darkness for consistent high-quality printing.

 

 

If printing is too light, or if there are voids in printed areas, you

 

 

should increase the darkness. If printing is too dark, or if there is

 

 

spreading or bleeding of printed areas, you should decrease the

 

DARKNESS

darkness.

 

 

The FEED Key Self Test on page 80 can also be used to

 

 

determine the best darkness setting. Since the darkness setting

 

 

takes effect immediately, you can see the results on labels that

 

 

are currently printing.

 

 

CAUTION: Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides

 

 

good print quality. Darkness set too high may cause

 

 

ink smearing and/or it may burn through the ribbon.

 

 

Darkness settings also may be changed by the driver or software

 

 

settings.

 

 

 

 

 

Adjusting the Tear-Off Position: Press the (+) key to increase

 

 

the value, press the (–) key to decrease the value. Each press of

 

 

the key adjusts the tear-off position by four dot rows.

 

TEAR OFF

Default: +0

 

 

Range: –120 to +120

 

 

This parameter establishes the position of the media over the

 

 

tear-off/peel-off bar after printing. The label and backing can be

 

 

torn off or cut between labels.

 

 

 

 

 

Selecting Print Mode: Press the (+) or (–) key to display other

 

 

choices.

 

 

Default: Tear-off

 

PRINT MODE

Selections: Tear-off, peel-off, cutter, rewind

 

 

Print mode settings tell the printer the method of media delivery

 

 

that you wish to use. Be sure to select a print mode that your

 

 

hardware configuration supports since some selections displayed

 

 

are for optional printer features.
