Setting Contrast
The print contrast controls the darkness of the printing on your
supply. The range is -699 to +699 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.
High contrast settings may
◆
require additional printhead cleaning.
◆
create bar code growth, leading to reduced scanning.
