Setting Print Parameters

 

 

 

Adjusting Print Darkness: Press the INCREMENT (+) key to increase darkness.

 

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, increase the darkness. If

DARKNESS

printing is too dark, or if there is spreading or bleeding of printed areas, decrease

 

the darkness.

 

The FEED Key Self Test on page 78 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 may also 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

 

Range: –120 to +120

 

This parameter establishes the position of the media over the tear-off/peel-off bar

 

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