ADJUSTING THE PRINT QUALITY
One
of
the
nice
features
of
the
SATO
“Se”
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

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
ed
es
of
each
ima
e
should
be
cris
and
well
defined.
The
Print
Darkness
can
be
set
using
the
front
panel
LCD
panel
or
by
downloading
the
setting
using
the
Print
Darkeness
software
command.
Once
the
range
has
beenselected,
the
PRINT
Potentiometer
on
the
front
panel
can
be
used
to
make
finer
ad
ustments.
