Optimizing Print Quality

LP+, IGP/PGL, and IGP/VGL Emulations

You can optimize print quality for darker and sharper barcodes and characters. Doing so, however, will decrease the printer speed.

To optimize print quality, you can change the values of the following configuration parameters:

Bar Code Quality (Printer Control menu): Select “Dark” or “Recommended.” Recommended prints the darkest images, but at the slowest speed. Dark prints at a faster speed than Recommended, but the characters are not as dark. (See page 279 for a written description of Bar Code Quality.)

Print Quality (IGP/PGL emulation): Select “Best” or “High.” Best prints the darkest images, but at the slowest speed. High prints at a faster speed than Best, but the characters are not as dark. (See page 129 for the IGP/PGL Configuration Menu, and see page 143 for a written description of Print Quality.)

Print Quality (IGP/VGL emulation): Select “High.” (See page 148 for the IGP/VGL Configuration Menu, and see page 157 for a written description of Print Quality.)
