Media/Sensor Tab

The first tab within the Printer Configuration tab displays Media/Sensor parameters
(see Figure 13).
The values populated in the fields are based on loading the configuration (clicking

“Read”) from a

new 203 DPI printer (the Factory default). This is common in all emulations, PGL, ZGL, and EGL
unless otherwise stated.

Figure 13. Media/Sensor Setup

Print Speed

This option specifies the speed in inches per second (IPS) at which the media passes through the
printer while printing. The range is 2 to 6 IPS.

The factory default is 3 IPS for 300 DPI and 5 IPS for 203 DPI.

Print Intensity

This option specifies the level of thermal energy from the printhead to be used for the type of
media and ribbon installed. Large numbers imply more heat (thermal energy) to be applied for
each dot. This has a significant effect on print quality. The print intensity and speed must match
the media and ribbon type to obtain the best possible print quality and barcode grades.

The range is -15 to 15. The factory default is 0.
