Darkness Control

The

Darkness Control

switch enables you to modify the darkness setting for minor variations in media and printers without having to change the program or driver settings sent to the printer.

The darkness control switch has three settings:

Left	No effect (default). Makes no change to the darkness setting as set by programming or driver setting.
Middle	increases darkness by three levels (medium). For example, if the printer is set to the default darkness level of 20, the actual darkness applied while printing will be 23.
Right	Increases darkness by six levels (high).

Setting the print darkness too high or too low may reduce barcode readability.
