Setting the Print Contrast
The print contrast controls the darkness of the printing on your supply. The
range is -699 to +699 and the default is 0. You may need to increase the
print contrast for linerless supplies. 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.
