	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,
	increase the darkness. If printing is too dark, or if there is
	spreading or bleeding of printed areas, decrease the
	darkness.
	Feed Self Test on page 111 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.
	Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides good
	print quality. Darkness set too high may cause ink smearing
	or it may burn through the ribbon.
	Darkness settings may also be changed by the driver or
	software settings.
PRINT SPEED	Press SELECT to make change.
	Adjusting print speed: Press PLUS (+) to increase print
	speed and MINUS (–) to decrease print speed. Speed is
	measured in inches per second (ips). The default is 2 ips.
	Press SELECT to accept the change.
