You may need to adjust the print contrast if the printing is too light or too dark. Having the correct print contrast is important because it affects how well your bar codes scan and how long your printhead lasts.

We recommend you check the bar code print

quality with a bar code verifier.

Using a thin screwdriver, turn contrast knob clockwise for darker print; turn counter-clockwise for lighter print.

Contrast Knob

You only have to turn the contrast

adjuster slightly.

Your System Administrator can adjust the print contrast by sending the print control packet. See the Packet Reference Manual for more information.

Care and Maintenance 5-7
