Setting the MSN for Other Media and Ribbon
If you are not using Intermec media and ribbon, or you misplaced your packaging with
the three-digit sensitivity number label on it, you can set the approximate sensitivity
rating. The first column of the Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer Media Sensitivity
Settings tables list the approximate sensitivity settings. To achieve acceptable print
quality, enter the three-digit media sensitivity number (for example, 800).
If you are unsure of how to set the media sensitivity rating, start with the highest
setting, which provides the lowest energy (800 for thermal transfer and 700 for direct
thermal), and work your way down until you achieve the best print quality.
Note:
Use the maximum recommended print speed only as a guideline. Optimize your
individual print speed based on your media and the format that you want to print. If you
exceed the maximum recommended print speed, you may notice reduced print quality.
