5.6Darkness Adjustment

The Darkness Adjustment allows the operator to match the print contrast following a printhead replacement. Turning the Darkness Adjustment clockwise will darken the print, while turning it counterclockwise will lighten the print. Compare a label printed with the old printhead and make this adjustment so that the new printhead matches the darkest portion of that label.

;Note: Large increases in the ‘Darkness Adjustment’ can shorten printhead life. If you need to increase the darkness of the printed labels, try increasing the Heat value and/or slow the Print Speed using your software program or via DPL commands.

The printer will now be set to the ‘Factory Defaults.’ See Section 4.5.1 for a listing of the factory default settings. Resetting to ‘Factory Defaults’ will not effect the following settings:
