Adjusting the Print Contrast
The print contrast controls the darkness of the printing on your supply. The range
is -699 to +699 and the default is 0. Having the correct contrast setting is
important because it affects how well your bar codes scan and how long your
printhead lasts.
High contrast settings may
♦ require additional printhead cleaning.
♦ create bar code growth, leading to reduced scanning.
1. From the Main menu, select Setup, then Contrast. For example,
Enter contrast
[-699/699]: +0
2. Press l or r to change the contrast. Pressing r darkens the print; l
lightens the print.
