4-2 Operator's Handbook
The higher the number, the darker the print; the lower the
number, the lighter the print.
The print contrast controls the darkness of the printing on
your supply. The range is –100 to +100 and the default is
0. You may need to increase or decrease the print
contrast depending on your supply type. Having the
correct print contrast setting is important because it
affects how well your barcodes scan and how long your
printhead lasts.
