Darkness
Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides good print quality. If you set the darkness
too high, the label image may print unclearly, bar codes may not scan correctly, the ribbon
may burn through, or the printhead may wear prematurely.
If desired, use the FEED Self Test on page 151 to determine the best darkness setting.
