The print contrast controls the darkness of the printing on your supply. The
range is -699 to +699 and the default is 0. Having the correct print contrast
setting is important because it affects how well your bar codes scan and how
long your printhead lasts. You can use a verifier to check the bar code print
quality.

High contrast settings may
♦ require additional printhead cleaning.
♦ create bar code growth, leading to reduced scanning.
CAUTION: Setting the print contrast higher than 399 reduces the printhead
warranty to 100,000 inches and may damage the printhead.
