Syntax Dp
1
Parameters p
1
= Density setting.
The default value is 3.
Acceptable values are: 0 - 7 with 0 as the
lightest print and 7 as the darkest.
The density command controls the amount of
heat produced by the print head. More heat will
produce a darker image. The density value will
remain in effect until changed or power is
removed.
The density and speed commands can dra-
matically affect print quality. Changes in the
speed setting typically require a change to the
print density.
Example: D5¿ : selects density 5
