Optimizing Print Quality

LP+, IGP/PGL, and IGP/VGL Emulations
You can optimize print quality for darker and sharper barcodes and
characters. Doing so, however, will decrease the printer speed.
To optimize print quality, you can change the values of the following
configuration parameters:
•
Bar Code Quality (Printer Control menu): Select "Dark" or
"Recommended." Recommended prints the darkest images, but at the
slowest speed. Dark prints at a faster speed than Recommended, but the
characters are not as dark. (See page 223 for a written description of Bar
Code Quality.)
•
Print Quality (IGP/PGL emulation): Select "Best" or "High." Best prints
the darkest images, but at the slowest speed. High prints at a faster
speed than Best, but the characters are not as dark. (See page 180 for
the IGP/PGL Configuration Menu, and see page 189 for a written
description of Print Quality.)
•
Print Quality (IGP/VGL emulation): Select "High." (See page 193 for the
IGP/VGL Configuration Menu, and see page 200 for a written description
of Print Quality.)
