Setting Contrast
The print contrast controls the darkness of the printing on your supply. The range is -699 to
+699 and the default is 225. You may need to increase the print contrast for linerless
supplies. Having the correct print contrast setting is important because it affects how well
your bar codes scan and how long your printhead lasts. You can use a verifier to check the
bar code print quality.
High contrast settings may
♦ require additional printhead cleaning.
♦ create bar code growth, leading to reduced scanning.
