Adjust Print Darkness
The best darkness setting depends on a variety of factors, including ribbon 
type, labels, and the condition of the printhead. You may adjust the 
darkness for consistent high-quality printing.

Set the darkness to the lowest setting that provides 

good print quality. If the darkness is set too high, the ink may 
smear, the ribbon may burn through, or the printhead may wear 
prematurely.

The printer applies and saves the darkness setting 

immediately. Exiting Setup mode without saving changes does not 
restore the previous value.

If printing is too light or if there are voids in the printed areas, increase the 
darkness. If the printing is too dark or if there is spreading or bleeding of 
printed areas, decrease the darkness. Darkness settings also may be 
changed by the driver or software settings.
The 

 can be used to determine the best 

darkness setting. Because the darkness setting takes effect immediately, 
you can see the results on labels that are currently printing.
