Non-display printers: The Darkness Adjustment allows the operator to match the print contrast
following a printhead replacement. Turning the Darkness Adjustment clockwise will darken the
print, while turning it counterclockwise will lighten the print. Compare a label printed with the old
printhead and make this adjustment so that the new printhead matches the darkest portion of
that label.
Display-equipped printers: Use the printer’s menu to adjust Darkness; see Section 4.5, Print
Control / Custom Adjustments.
Darkness Adjustment
Large increases in the ‘Darkness Adjustment’ can shorten printhead life. If you need to
increase the darkness of the printed labels, try increasing the Heat value and/or slow the Print
Speed using your software program or via DPL commands
