Print > Print Quality > Darkness
Set the print darkness to the lowest setting that provides good print quality. If you
set the darkness too high, the label image may print unclearly, barcodes may not
scan correctly, the ribbon may burn through, or the printhead may wear
prematurely.
Print > Print Quality > Print Speed
Select the speed, in inches per second (ips), for printing a label. Slower print speeds
typically yield better print quality.
Print > Print Quality > Print Type
Specify if the printer needs to use ribbon for printing.
