Chapter 3 MEDIA CONTROL Menu

MEDIA CONTROL Submenus

Print Intensity

This option 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 barcode grades.

The range is -15 through +15:

• The factory default is -3 in Transfer mode.

• The factory default is 0 in Direct Thermal mode.

Print Speed

This option 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 factory 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). See “Printing” on page 247 for print speed specifications.
