Adjust Print Darkness

 

DARKNESS+04.0

 

Darkness (burn duration) settings depend on a variety of factors, including

 

-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+

ribbon type, media type, and the condition of the printhead. You may adjust

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the darkness for consistent high-quality printing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Important • Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

good print quality. If the darkness is set too high, the ink may

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

smear,, the ribbon may burn through, or the printhead may wear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

prematurely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If printing is too light or if there are voids in printed areas, increase the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

darkness. If printing is too dark or if there is spreading or bleeding of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

printed areas, decrease the darkness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The FEED Self Test on page 122 can be used to determine the best darkness

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

setting. You may want to adjust darkness while performing the PAUSE Self

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Test on page 121. Because the darkness setting takes effect immediately,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you can see the results on labels that are currently printing. Darkness
