Non-display printers: The Darkness Adjustment allows the operator to match the print contrast
following a printhead replacement. Turning the Darkness Adjustment clockwise will darken the
print, while turning it counterclockwise will lighten the print. Compare a label printed with the old

that label.
Display-equipped printers: Use the printer’s menu to adjust Darkness; see Section 4.5, Print
Control / Custom Adjustments.
