Darkness settings depend on a variety of factors,

 

including ribbon type, labels, and the condition of

 

 

 

 

the printhead. You may adjust the darkness for

 

 

consistent high-quality printing.

 

 

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

 

 

areas, you should increase the darkness. If printing is

 

 

too dark, or if there is spreading or bleeding of

 

 

printed areas, you should decrease the darkness.

 

 

The FEED Self Test described in the FEED Self Test

 

 

on page 135 can also be used to determine the best

 

 

darkness setting. Since the darkness setting takes

 

 

effect immediately, you can see the results on labels

 

 

that are currently printing.

 

 

Caution • Set the darkness to the lowest setting that

 

 

provides good print quality. Darkness set too high

 

 

may cause ink smearing or burn through the ribbon.

 

 

Darkness settings also may be changed by the driver

 

 

or software settings.
