Printronix T6000 - Media > Image > Print Intensity

54
 The image starts to print at an erroneous distance from the top-of- form, especially towards the end of
a roll where the media is severely curled or scalloped.
 The image is incorrectly positioned as a result of the media sensor triggering off of a dark, pre-printed
image on the label or multiple gaps within the label.
 The printer starts to print one label and then another all on the same physical label, especially at the
end of a roll where the media is severely curled.
 An occasional blank label appears within a print job (in between printed labels).
When Clip Page is “Disable”, the printer ignores any pre-printed dark marks or multiple gaps on a label that
could mistakenly be detected as the next top-of-form position based on the specified Media > Image >
Label Length value.
IMPORTANT When Clip Page is “Disable”, the correct Media > Image > Label Length value
must be entered. If the value is too long, the printer will ignore the actual gap or
mark it needs to detect.
 When using Gap sensing, the Label Length value is equal to the physical length of a die cut or
removable label.
 When using Mark sensing, the Label Length value is the physical distance from the leading edge of
one black mark to the leading edge of the next black mark.
When the Logical Label Length is greater than the Physical Label Length and Clip Page is “Disable”, the
printer will continue to print the image onto the next physical label and ignore the gap or mark based on the
Media > Image > Label Length value.
When the Logical Label Length is less than the Physical Label Length, the printer will print the entire image
and leave blank space the remaining length of the physical label as it advances to the Top-of-Form of the
next label. This is true regardless of the Media > Image > Clip Page setting.

Media > Image > Print Intensity
This option specifies the level of thermal energy from the printhead to be used
for the type of media and ribbon installed. Large numbers imply more heat
(thermal energy) to be applied for each dot. This has a significant effect on
print quality. The print intensity and speed must match the media and ribbon
type to obtain the best possible print quality and barcode grades.
Minimum
-15
Maximum
+15
Factory Default
-3
IMPORTANT
The actual print intensity is the sum of both the
Print Intensity menu and the Intensity Shift menu.
For example, if Print Intensity = 5 and Intensity
Shift = -3, then the actual print intensity used is 2.
However, the actual intensity is bounded with a
minimum of -15 and maximum of 20.
