The burn time controls the print density. It is used to set the heating so that it is adequate for
the thermal paper used as ticket material. Set it to the lowest burn time that gives acceptable
print quality.
The burn time setting is stored in the non-volatile memory.
A three-button reset returns the setting to default value.

time than required for a clearly legible print. Settings over 27 are not recommended.
