Configuration Overview

Optimizing Print Quality

LP+, IGP/PGL, and IGP/VGL Emulations

You can optimize print quality for darker and sharper barcodes and
characters. Doing so, however, will decrease the printer speed.

To optimize print quality, you can change the values of the following
configuration parameters:

Bar Code Quality (Printer Control menu):

Select “Dark” or “Draft.”

Dark prints the darkest images, but at the slowest speed. Draft prints at a
faster speed than Dark, but the characters are not as dark. (See page 252
for a written description of Bar Code Quality.)

Print Quality (IGP/PGL emulation):

Select “Best” or “High.” Best prints

the darkest images, but at the slowest speed. High prints at a faster
speed than Best, but the characters are not as dark. (See page 197 for
the IGP/PGL Configuration Menu, and page 206 for a written description
of Print Quality.)

Print Quality (IGP/VGL emulation):

Select “High.” (See page 210 for the

IGP/VGL Configuration Menu, and page 217 for a written description of
Print Quality.)
