DARKNESS
Print Darkness Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides good print quality. If you set the
darkness too high, the label image may print unclearly, bar codes may not scan
correctly, the ribbon may burn through, or the printhead may wear prematurely.
If desired, use the FEED Self Test on page 167 to determine the best darkness setting.
