Image Management
The items in the Image Management menu affect character size and appearance.
The table below lists the items available, the values that may be selected, and the factory default value. Which
setup method may be used to change values is indicated by a checkmark. Note that some of these settings may
be overridden by the host application software. Following the tables are detailed descriptions of each setup
item. In the detailed descriptions, an asterisk (*) indicates the factory default value. For more information,
please refer to the
DP-5XX Programmer’s Manual

Print Contrast
Possible Values: -75 … 0* … +125 in increments of 5 (+35* for LP Models)
The printer automatically adjusts the amount of energy used in order to maintain constant print quality as the
battery discharges during use. The Print Contrast setting modifies the value that is determined to be needed by
the printer and may be used to obtain improved print quality on different qualities of thermal paper.
Note
: By affecting the relative amount of battery energy that is used when printing, the Print Contrast
setting affects both print speed and battery life. Setting a lower value will result in faster printing
and will extend normal battery life. Setting a higher value may allow the use of poorer quality paper
and will result in slower printing and a shorter battery life.
