ADJUSTING THE PRINT QUALITY

One of the nice features of the SATO “S” printers are their high print quality. They

are equipped with two different methods of adjusting the quality of the print: print

darkness and speed. When adjusting for optimum print quality, a bar code verifier

system should be used. The human eye is a poor judge of the relative widths of the

bars in a symbol, a characteristic that is extremely important for good bar code

quality.

Print (Darkness)

This adjustment allows the user to control (within a specified range) the amount of

power that is used to activate the individual print head heat elements. It is important

to find a proper print darkness level based on your particular label and ribbon

combination. The printed images should not be too light nor should the ink from the

ribbon “bleed.” The edges of each image should be crisp and well defined.

The Print Darkness can be set using the front panel LCD panel (see page 3-7) or by

downloading the setting using the Print Darkeness software command (see page

5-52). Once the range has beenselected, the PRINT Potentiometer on the front panel

can be used to make finer adjustments.
