Important • Certain printing conditions may require that you adjust printing parameters,
such as print speed, darkness, or print mode. These conditions include (but are not
limited to):
• printing at high speeds
• peeling the media
• the use of extremely thin, small, synthetic, or coated labels
Because these and other factors affect print quality, run tests to determine the best
combination of printer settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit print
quality or print rate, or the printer may not function properly in the desired print mode.
