Setting the Media Sensitivity Number

Media sensitivity is important because you use it to optimize print quality
and print speed. The three-digit sensitivity number specifies the amount of
heat required by the printhead to image a label. The amount of heat that
each roll of media or ribbon requires is unique due to different chemistries
and manufacturing processes.
Intermec has developed heating schedules (the amount of heat required to
image a label) to produce the highest possible print quality for Intermec
media and ribbon combinations on Intermec printers. Look for the three
digit media sensitivity number on:
• the side of the media roll. Use the last three digits (140 in the example) of
• a small label attached to the roll of media.
• a small label attached to the plastic bag of your ribbon roll.
