DARKNESS Adjust Print Darkness
Change the darkness setting if the wristbands print too light or too dark.
Important • To ensure the best image durability, set the darkness to the

consistently. If the darkness is set too high, bar codes may not scan, or the
printhead may wear prematurely.

cartridge being used. Typically, the value is +21.

set to USER or RELATIVE; ignored when the darkness mode is set to
