Label Formatting Command Functions
Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual 131
H Enter Heat Setting
This command changes the “on time” of elements of the print head. The default setting
is 10 (except in the case of printers with a menu, where the default setting can be
changed through the keypad). An increase or decrease in this value results in a change
of heat applied by the print head to the media, lightening or darkening the print contrast
accordingly. This is helpful when using different media types, each requiring a different
amount of heat to properly image the media. The host device can send this command
value to correct the heat setting per the application.
