optimize the sensitivity number for thermal transfer media, you
combine the digits as in this example.

The media sensitivity number can also be changed using
PrintSet, the printer's home page, third-party software, or an IPL
command with the following syntax:
<STX><SI>gn[,m]<ETX>
where:
n specifies direct thermal(n=0) or thermal transfer(n=1)
media.

The default sensitivity number is 420 for direct thermal printing
and 567 for thermal transfer printing.
