Printer Configuration
Print Contrast
Possible Values: -35% … 0* … +35% in increments of 5%
The printer automatically adjusts the amount of energy used in order to maintain constant print quality as the
battery discharges during use. The Print Contrast setting modifies the value that is determined to be needed by
the printer and may be used to obtain improved print quality on different qualities of thermal print media. A
higher value will result in a darker image.
Note: By affecting the relative amount of battery energy that is used when printing, the Print Contrast
setting affects both print speed and battery life. Setting a lower value will result in faster printing
and will extend normal battery life. Setting a higher value may allow the use of poorer quality media
and will result in slower printing and a shorter battery life.
Maximum Paper Speed
Possible Values: 0.32, 1.36, 1.92, 2.35, 2.72, 2.81* ips
This feature may be used to reduce the maximum paper speed if necessary to allow the printer to use heavier
papers, narrow paper, or some coated papers that have a more slippery finish.
FFeed Distance
Possible Values: 0.0000 … 1.2608* … 2.5216 inches, or Mark Sensing
This feature sets the distance that paper is to be moved whenever the user presses the Paper Feed Button or a
Form Feed character is received from a host system.
Note: If Mark Sensing is selected, the paper will be advanced to the next Black Mark. When Mark Sensing
is used, the values of the Mark Sensitivity, Tearbar Adjust, and Top of Form Adjust features are
available for adjustment.
Mark Sensitivity
Possible Values: -10 … 0* … +10
This feature allows the Black Mark/Paper sensor to be adjusted to allow for variations in media materials and
Black Mark printing methods. The following list will help determine if, and how, the Mark Sensitivity should
be adjusted.
• If the printer is not detecting black marks reliably, set the Mark Sensitivity to a lower value.
• If the printer is detecting false Check Paper conditions, set the Mark Sensitivity to a higher value.
• If the printer is detecting black marks where none exist, set the Mark Sensitivity to a higher value.
Tearbar Adjust
Possible Values: -0.295” …0.000”* …0.315”
This feature is used to adjust the tear position when black mark sensing is used.
Top of Form Adjust
Possible Values: -0.295” … 0.000” … 0.295”
This feature is used to adjust the location of the top line of printing when black mark sensing is used.
