printout:
• Direct thermal printing or thermal transfer printing
• Print speed
• Diff erent brands of direct thermal media
• Diff erent combination between transfer ribbons and receiving
face materials
• Diff erent ambient temperature/humitity
Th e printed information may also require the density to be
adjusted. Typically, this applies to diff erent bar code orientations
and densitites. Refer to the tables in the pages that follow for

Test after the print speed has been set (see S command) and make
further adjustments until you have found the settings which best
apply to your unique application.
