Feed Key Self Test
Information on the printed configuration (Cancel Key Self Test) label will be used with the
results of this self test to determine the best darkness setting for a specific media/ribbon
combination.
The Feed Key Self Test label (shown in Figure 3-3) prints out at various positive and
negative darkness settings relative to the darkness value shown on the configuration label.
Inspect these labels and determine which one has the best darkness setting for the
application. This value can be entered into the printer by configuring the Darkness
Parameter.
The value printed on the selected test label is added to or subtracted from the darkness
value specified on the configuration label.
The resulting numeric value (0 to 30) that is best for that specific media/ribbon
combination should be entered as the Darkness Parameter.
