CAUTION!

The Print contrast parameter directly affects the service life of the printhead. In general,

the higher the setting of the Print contrast, the shorter the service life of the printhead.

This applies especially to settings over 100%. Therefore note the following recom-

mendation:

 Always select the lowest setting that will still produce acceptable printing results.
