Note 1: 0 is the lightest print and 15 is the darkest.
The density command controls the amount of
heat produced by the print head. More heat will
produce a darker image. Too much heat can
cause the printed image to distort.
The density and speed commands can dramatically
affect print quality. Changes in the speed setting typi-
cally require a change to the print density.
Example:
