Remarks: The 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 and humidity.
The printed information may also require the density to be adjusted.
Typically, this applies to different bar code orientations and densities.
Refer to the tables in the pages that follow for recommended initial
settings.
