Recommended Settings
Intermec recommends the paper type and print speed settings listed
below to produce the highest possible print quality under normal
conditions and to ensure maximum lifetime of the printhead. Use
the EasySet bar code wand for easy media setup. Label materials
are available from Intermec either in standardized types and sizes,
or in special materials and sizes on request.
When adjusting the image darkness for individual requirements or
new label materials, proceed as follows:
Keep the Label Factor at the recommended value for the type
of direct thermal paper. Then decrease or increase the Label
Constant for lighter or darker images respectively, depending on the
requirements of the images or of the new label material.
