Print Intensity
Specifies the level of thermal energy from the printhead to be used
for the type of media and ribbon installed.
Large numbers imply more heat (thermal energy) to be applied for
each dot. This has a significant effect on print quality. The print
intensity and speed must match the media and ribbon type to
obtain the best possible print quality and barcode grades.
The range is -15 through +15:
•In Transfer mode, the factory default is -3.
•In Direct Thermal mode, the factory default is 0.
Print Speed
Specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at which the media
passes through the printer while printing.
The range is 2 through 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).
The factory default is 6 ips.
NOTE: The maximum print speed varies based on maximum
printer width and dot per inch (dpi) resolution of the
printhead installed (203 or 300 dpi).
Print Mode
Specifies the type of printing to be done.
•Transfer. Indicates Thermal Transfer printing (ribbon installed).
•Direct. Indicates Direct Thermal printing (no ribbon) and
requires special heat sensitive media.
The factory default is Transfer.
