• Color density

or adjust to paper variations. When the printer prints
high-density color print lines (text or graphics), it
automatically slows down. Factory setting is 100%.
WARNING: Choose an energy level no higher than
necessary to achieve a dark printout. Failure to
observe this rule may result in a printer service call or
voiding the printer warranty. Running at a higher
energy level will reduce the printhead life. Consult
your TPG, Inc. technical support if you have any
questions.
• Print density (monochrome papers only)
Adjusts printhead energy level to darken printout or
adjust for paper variations. When the printer prints

than necessary to achieve acceptable print density.
Failure to observe this rule may result in a printer
service call and may void the printer warranty.
Running at a higher energy level will reduce the
printhead life. Consult your TPG, Inc. technical
support specialist if you have questions.
