USING YOUR BRONCO

2.2.4 

DARKNESS

Depending on the supplies that you are using, you may need to adjust the Darkness 
setting to maintain print quality. Most frequently, this comes up when changing from a 
Premium ribbon to a Chemical-Resistant ribbon, or vice-versa. Specialty ribbons typically 
require a higher Darkness setting. This option is found as a slider on the Options tab of 
the Printing Preferences.

2.2.5 

ADJUSTING DEFAULT SETTINGS

If you access the Printing Preferences through a program’s Print window, you will only 
change the settings for that session of printing. If you want to change the default 
settings for the printer, affecting every job, close your label design program and follow 
these steps.

• 

If you use 

Windows XP

, go through your computer’s Start Menu to the Control 

Panel, and open the “Printers and Faxes” window.

• 

If you use

 or 

Windows 7

, go through your computer’s Start Menu to 

the Control Panel, and open the “Devices and Printers” window.

If you use 

Windows 8

 or 

Windows 8.1

, go through your computer’s Charms Bar to 

the Control Panel, and open the “Devices and Printers” window.

Find the entry in this window for your DuraLabel Bronco, right-click on it, and choose 
Printing Preferences. These settings will be saved for future use.
