Items in this menu are shown in the order in which they appear when you press the RIGHT
ARROW. For more information about these settings, see
Print Settings on page 73.
Adjust the Print Darkness
Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides good print
quality. If you set the darkness too high, the label image may print
unclearly, bar codes may not scan correctly, the ribbon may burn
through, or the printhead may wear prematurely.
See Print Darkness on page 73 for more information.
Select the Print Speed
Select the speed for printing a label (given in inches per second).
Slower print speeds typically yield better print quality.
See Print Speed on page 73 for more information.
Set the Slew Speed
The slew speed is the speed at which the printer skips over the
areas in a label format that are blank across the full width of the
image. A faster slew speed may reduce printing time. The print
engine automatically senses when to apply this higher speed.
See Slew Speed on page 73 for more information.
Set the Backfeed Speed
Backfeed refers to the backward motion of the media from the tear-
off or peel-off position to the print position. This motion occurs so
that more of the lead edge of each label can be used for printing.
Reducing backfeed speed can mitigate some issues. In general,
reducing the backfeed speed may improve print quality at the start
of the label. This speed defaults to 2 ips.
See Backfeed Speed on page 74 for more information.
