Use this three-digit number to optimize print quality and print speed on the
3440 printer. You can achieve the best print quality on the 3440 printer by
using only Intermec ribbon and media products. The default sensitivity
setting for thermal transfer media is 567. For direct thermal media, the
default sensitivity setting is 420. Use the packaging that you saved, when
loading media and ribbon, to determine the correct sensitivity number.
Use the PrintSet software, your third-party software, or the Intermec Printer
Language (IPL) command set to change the media sensitivity number. For
help setting the media sensitivity number using IPL commands, see the DOS
example in the next section. If you want to see the current sensitivity setting
of your 3440, print out a software configuration label.
To print a software configuration label
1. Turn the On/Off switch to the off position.
2. Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning the printer on. The
printer prints out a hardware configuration label.

4. Hold the Feed/Pause button down for 1 second. The printer prints out
the software configuration label.
