Intermec EasyCoder C4 – Programmer’s Guide Ed. 3 41
Chapter 7 Commands
Description This command is used to select the print density.
Syntax Dp
1
Parameters p
1
Density setting (0-15). Default: 10.
0 is the lightest printing and 15 is the darkest.
Remarks The density command is used to control the energy to the printhead. There are a
number of factors that affect the actual darkness of the printout:
• Direct thermal printing or thermal transfer printing
• Print speed
• Different brands of direct thermal media
• Different combination between transfer ribbons and receiving face materials
• Different ambient temperature/humitity
The printed information may also require the density to be adjusted. Typically, this
applies to different bar code orientations and densitites. Please refer to the tables in
Appendix 1 for recommended initial settings.
Test after the print speed has been set (see S command) and make further adjustments
until you have found the settings which apply to your unique application.
