Setting the MSN for Intermec Media and Ribbon
For direct thermal media, use the three-digit sensitivity number located on the roll of
media to set the sensitivity number. You can also use the values from the tables in the
next section.
For thermal transfer media, you need to look in two places to determine the sensitivity
number. The sensitivity number on each roll of thermal transfer media or ribbon has an
asterisk (*) in place of one of the digits. On thermal transfer media, the rating contains
the first and second digits, with an asterisk in place of the third digit. The number on
the ribbon has the first and third digits, with an asterisk in place of the second digit.
To optimize the sensitivity number for thermal transfer media, you combine the digits
as in this example.
