5. Setting the Contrast

Contrast controls the darkness of the printing on your supply.

The range is -50 to +50, and the default is 0. Use the following

rules of thumb as you set the contrast:

• Darken the printing by

increasing

the number.

• Lighten the printing by

decreasing

the number.

Correct contrast setting is important because it affects how well

your bar codes scan and how long your printhead lasts. To

achieve maximum thermal printhead life, adjust the contrast

setting for each printer and supply type when possible.

NOTE: If you change the contrast in the middle of a

batch, the change occurs immediately. The

printer will

not

wait until the next batch to make

the change.
