Adjusting The Print Intensity - Intermec 3600 Maintenance Manual

Adjusting the Print Intensity

Note: Before you adjust print intensity, verify the sensitivity rating for the media
matches the rating set in the printer.
Use the darkness adjust control in combination with the darkness adjust
command <SI>d to fine-tune the intensity of print on your customer's labels.
The fine adjustments compensate for variations in the media ("lot to lot"), the
printhead, or the printer. Set the darkness adjust control with a small straight-
slot screwdriver after entering the proper sensitivity number.
To adjust the print darkness control
1. Locate the darkness adjust control on the back of the printer. Make
adjustments with a small straight-slot screwdriver.
2. Increase the darkness by turning the darkness adjust control clockwise or
decrease the darkness by turning the control counterclockwise. Run a test
print to evaluate the print quality.
