Special Notes

1.This command covers the complete range of heat set- tings. After the printer has been adjusted using the Print Darkness Adjust setting, the <ESC>#E Print Darkness Command can be used to adjust the heat setting in dis- crete steps referenced to the Adjust setting.

2.The Media Adjust setting is used to optimize the “dot history” algorithm which tracks the activity of each print dot from one dot row to another. This can improve the readability of rotated bar codes.

3.The factory setting for these adjustments is set to provide the optimum results when using the SATO supplied media with the printer. It is recommended that any changes be made judiciously as they can have a signifi- cant impact on print quality and bar code readability.
