Adjusting Print Darkness
Darkness settings depend on a variety of factors, including ribbon type, labels, 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, you should increase the
darkness. If printing is too dark, or if there is spreading or bleeding of printed areas,
you should decrease the darkness. Darkness settings also may be changed by the
driver or software settings.
The FEED Self Test described in
can also be used to
determine the best darkness setting. Because the darkness setting takes effect
immediately, you can see the results on labels that are currently printing.
Important •
Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides good print quality.
If the darkness is set too high, the ink may smear, the ribbon may burn through, or
the printhead may wear prematurely.
• Press the right oval to increase darkness.
• Press the left oval to decrease darkness.
Default: +4
Range: 0 to +30.0
PRINT SPEED
