Paper Options

Paper Options allows you to set the printer to match the type of paper you are using.

Click on the Paper Roll button, or from the Configure menu, choose

Paper Options. The following dialog will appear:

Darkness

The Darkness function sets the heat sensitivity for the type of paper you are using, and for high and low ambient temperatures (which may affect the temperature of the print mechanism in the microFlash, causing the print quality to change. )

-15% (lighter) 0% (medium) +35% (darker)

If the print appears too faint, adjust the sensitivity towards the darker end of the scale until the print is dark and crisp. It is best to avoid setting the heat sensitivity higher than what is required by the paper.

Choose the heat sensitivity rating by pressing the down arrow and clicking on the setting you want.

Linerless Labels

You may need a darker setting if using linerless labels. See Darkness section above.

Ply

Choose the one-or-two-ply setting that matches your paper by clicking on the arrow to the right of the field to display your choices, and clicking on your choice.

Click on the OK button to save your paper specifications. They will appear in the Paper Options box.
