Adjusting the Print Width

Print width must be calibrated when:

■

You are using the printer for the first time.

■

There is a change in the width of the media.

Print width may be set by way of the five-flash sequence in “Feed Button

Modes” (see page 70) or refer to the Print Width (

^PW

) command (consult

your ZPL II Programming Guide).

Adjusting the Print Quality

Print quality is influenced by the heat of the print head, the speed of the

media and the type of media you are using.  Only by experimenting will

you find the optimal mix for your application.

The relative darkness setting is controlled by either the six-flash sequence

in “Feed Button Modes” (see page 70) or the Set Darkness (

~SD

) ZPL II

command (follow the instructions in the ZPL II Programming Guide).

If you find that the print speed needs to be adjusted, refer to the Print Rate

(

^PR

) command in the ZPL II Programming Guide.
