Parameters p

Density setting (0-15). Default: 10.
0 is the lightest printing and 15 is the darkest.
Remarks e density command is used to control the energy to the
printhead. A number of factors 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
e printed information may also require the density to be
adjusted. Typically, this applies to different bar code orientations
and densities.
Test after the print speed has been set (see S command) and make
further adjustments until you have found the settings which best
apply to your unique application.
