your ZPL II Programming Guide).
Adjusting the Print Darkness
The relative darkness setting is controlled by either the six-flash sequence in
“Feed Button Modes” (see page 52) or the Set Darkness (~SD) ZPL II
command (follow the instructions in the ZPL II Programming Guide).
Adjusting the Print Speed
Print quality is affected by print speed and the media you are using. Only
by experimenting will you find the optimal mix for your application.
If you find that the print speed needs to be adjusted, refer to the Print Rate
(^PR) command in the ZPL II Programming Guide.
