FG 9pt Italic
This chapter explains how to optimize and maintain print quality, use the printer
memory more efficiently, and maximize throughput.
Optimizing and Maintaining Print Quality
Intermec designed and configured the 3440 printer to provide the best
possible print quality for both direct thermal and thermal transfer media.
However, there are many factors that you need to take into account before
you can achieve maximum print quality for your own application. The
following sections address these factors:
• Selecting the correct media
• Setting the print speed
• Selecting the correct media sensitivity number
• Selecting the correct bar code orientation
• Correcting uneven print quality
• Adjusting the print darkness
