HP (Hewlett-Packard) 9800 Series Printer User Manual


 
Setting Contrast
The print contrast controls the darkness of the printing on your
supply. The range is 390 to +156 and the default is 0. You may
need to increase the print contrast for linerless supplies. Having
the correct print contrast setting is important because it affects
how well your bar codes scan and how long your printhead lasts.
You can use a verifier to check the bar code print quality.
If you set the contrast by turning the knob on
the back of the printer, this contrast setting is
added to it.
