	Press the DECREMENT (-) key to decrease darkness.
	Default: +10
	Range: 0 to +30
	Darkness settings are dependent upon a variety of factors, including ribbon
	type, media, 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
DARKNESS	the darkness. If printing is too dark, or if there is spreading or bleeding of
	printed areas, you should decrease the darkness.
	The FEED key self test on page 76 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 and/or it
	may burn through the ribbon.
	Darkness settings also may be changed by the driver or software settings.
	Adjusting the Tear-Off Position Press the INCREMENT (+) key to increase the
	value, press the DECREMENT (-) key to decrease the value. Each press of the
	key adjusts the tear-off position by four dot rows.
TEAR OFF	Default: +0

	bar after printing. The label and backing can be torn off or cut between labels.
