Recommended Settings
Intermec recommends the paper type and print speed settings listed
below to produce the highest possible print quality under normal
conditions and to ensure maximum lifetime of the printhead. Use
the EasySet bar code wand for easy media setup. Ribbon and label
materials are available from Intermec either in standardized types
and sizes, or in special materials and sizes on request.
When adjusting the image darkness for individual requirements or
new label materials, proceed as follows:
Direct Thermal Printing
Keep the Label Factor at the recommended value for the type
of direct thermal paper. Then decrease or increase the Label
Constant for lighter or darker images respectively, depending on the
requirements of the images or of the new label material.
Thermal Transfer Printing
Keep the Ribbon Factor for each quality at the recommended value.
Then decrease or increase the Ribbon Constant for lighter or darker
images respectively. For a new label material, start with an average
Ribbon Constant value for the ribbon quality in question.
