Media > Image > Print Intensity
This option specifies the level of thermal energy from the printhead to be used
for the type of media and ribbon installed. Large numbers imply more heat
(thermal energy) to be applied for each dot. This has a significant effect on
print quality. The print intensity and speed must match the media and ribbon
type to obtain the best possible print quality and barcode grades.
Minimum -15
Maximum +15
Factory Default -3
The actual print intensity is the sum of both the
Print Intensity menu and the Intensity Shift menu.
For example, if Print Intensity = 5 and Intensity
IMPORTANT
Shift = -3, then the actual print intensity used is 2.
However, the actual intensity is bounded with a
minimum of -15 and maximum of 20.
Media > Image > Intensity Shift
This menu can be used to shift Print Intensity settings higher or lower. This
allows for higher print intensity settings for certain media while maintaining a
compatible Print Intensity value set by the host job. It can also be used to
make slight adjustments for compatibility with other emulations.
Minimum Lighter -9
Maximum Darker +9
Factory Default None
While the shift can swing -9 to +9, the actual print

intensity value is bounded with a minimum of -15
and maximum of 20.
