QUICK SETUP Menu Items
Print Intensity
This menu item specifies the level of thermal energy from the
printhead to be used for the type of media and ribbon installed.
Large numbers imply more heat (thermal energy) to be applied for
each dot. This has a significant effect on print quality. The print
intensity and speed must match the media and ribbon type to obtain
the best possible print quality and bar code grades.
The range is –15 through +15. The default is –3.
Print Speed
This menu item specifies the speed in inches per second (ips) at
which the media passes through the printer while printing.
The range is 2 through 10 ips (in increments of 1 ips).
The default is 6 ips.
NOTE: The maximum print speed varies based on maximum
printer width and dot per inch (dpi) resolution of the
printhead installed (203 or 300 dpi).
Print Mode
This menu item specifies the type of printing to be done.
• Transfer. Indicates thermal transfer printing (ribbon installed).
• Direct. Indicates direct thermal printing (no ribbon) and
requires special heat sensitive media.
The default is Transfer, unless your printer is shipped as direct
thermal only (no ribbon motors installed).
NOTE: The Print Mode menu item does not appear for direct
thermal only printers.
