Set Print Parameters
Darkness
Darkness (burn duration), settings depend on a variety of factors, including ribbon type,
media, and the condition of the printhead. You may adjust the darkness for consistent
high-quality printing.
If printing is too light, increase the darkness. If printing is too dark, or if there is spreading
or bleeding on printed areas, decrease the darkness. If there are voids in printed areas,
adjust the toggle pressure.
Press the right oval key to increase darkness, or press the left oval key to decrease
darkness.
Holding the key rapidly increases or decreases the darkness.
Note • The 110XiIIIPlus performs an auto-calibration.
Note • The Feed Key Self Test described in Basic Troubleshooting on
page 3-13 can also be used to determine the best darkness setting. The
110XiIIIPlus determines this in auto-calibration.
Caution:
Set darkness to the lowest setting possible for the desired print quality. Setting
darkness too high for a given ribbon may cause ink smearing and/or printhead
burning through the ribbon.
Note • The darkness setting takes effect right away. If labels are being printed,
results can be seen immediately.
