Print Darkness
Print Darkness is set using the <ESC>#E Print Darkness command. A fine
adjustment for PRINT DARKNESS can be made using potentiometer VR1 on the Front
Operator Panel. It provides a continuous range of adjustment, allowing you to make
precise changes. Turning VR1 clockwise will make the print darker and
counterclockwise will make it lighter.
1 Place DSW6 on the Configuration Switch in the ON position.
2. Turn the Power Switch OFF.
3. While pressing the FEED key on the Operator Panel, turn the Power Switch ON.
4. When you hear one beep from the printer, release the FEED key.
5. Press the LINE key to begin printing large Test Labels (press the FEED key if you
are using labels smaller than 4.1" (104 mm) in width).
6. Adjust potentiometer VR1 until the desired print darkness is obtained.
7. Press the FEED key to stop the printing.
Adjustment of the Print Darkness using VR1 will affect the darkness in all the
<ESC>#E command code ranges, i.e., if the print darkness is adjusted with VR1 for
lighter print, the darkness will be lighter in all the Print Darkness ranges selected by
the command code.
