Darkness settings are dependent upon a variety of factors,
including ribbon type, media, and the condition of the
printhead. You may adjust the darkness for consistent
high-quality printing.
If printing is too light, or if there are voids in printed areas,
increase the darkness. If printing is too dark, or if there is
spreading or bleeding of printed areas, decrease the
darkness.
Feed Self Test on page 111 can also be used to determine the
best darkness setting. Since the darkness setting takes effect
immediately, you can see the results on labels that are
currently printing.
Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides good
print quality. Darkness set too high may cause ink smearing
or it may burn through the ribbon.
Darkness settings may also be changed by the driver or
software settings.
PRINT SPEED Press SELECT to make change.
Adjusting print speed: Press PLUS (+) to increase print
speed and MINUS (–) to decrease print speed. Speed is
measured in inches per second (ips). The default is 2 ips.
Press SELECT to accept the change.
