Adjusting the Print Intensity

Note: Before you adjust print intensity, verify the sensitivity rating for the media matches the rating set in the printer.

Use the darkness adjust control in combination with the darkness adjust command <SI>d to fine-tune the intensity of print on your customer’s labels. The fine adjustments compensate for variations in the media (“lot to lot”), the printhead, or the printer. Set the darkness adjust control with a small straight- slot screwdriver after entering the proper sensitivity number.
