• Printhead setting
This setting is the printhead energy rating and must
match the rating marked on the the front right of the
thermal mechanism in the printer. Whenever a new
thermal mechanism is installed, this setting must
match the indicated energy rating on the mechanism.
(See A760 Service Guide for replacing the thremal
mechanism.)
• Paper type name
Sets the printer to optimum performance for paper
being used. This can also be done through the
command 1D 81 m n. See Programming Supplement
for command usage or page 32
configuration menu.
Available paper types may vary.
Currently these are 3 types:
0 – monochrome
4 – two-color
5 – two-color
(See page 48 for available paper manufacturers.)
• Color density
Adjusts printhead energy level to darken color printing
or adjust to paper variations. When the printer prints
high-density color print lines (text or graphics), it
automatically slows down. Factory setting is 100%.
WARNING: Choose an energy level no higher than
necessary to achieve a dark printout. Failure to observe
this rule may result in a printer service call or voiding the
printer warranty. Running at a higher energy level will
reduce the printhead life. Consult your CognitiveTPG
technical support if you have any questions.
• Print density (monochrome papers only)
Adjusts printhead energy level to darken printout or
adjust for paper variations. When the printer prints
high-density color print lines (text or graphics), it
automatically slows down. Factory setting is 100%.
WARNING: Choose a print density setting no higher than
necessary to achieve acceptable print density. Failure
to observe this rule may result in a printer service call
and may void the printer warranty. Running at a higher
energy level will reduce the printhead life. Consult your
CognitiveTPG technical support specialist if you have
questions.
