Chapter 7—Commands
D – Density
Description This command is used to select the print density.
Syntax
Dp
1
Parameters p
1
Density setting (0-15). Default: 10.
0 is the lightest printing and 15 is the darkest.
Remarks
The density command is used to control the energy to the
printhead. A number of factors affect the actual darkness of the
printout:
• Direct thermal printing or thermal transfer printing
• Print speed
• Different brands of direct thermal media
• Different combination between transfer ribbons and receiving
face materials
• Different ambient temperature/humitity
The printed information may also require the density to be
adjusted. Typically, this applies to different bar code orientations
and densitites. Refer to the tables in the pages that follow for
recommended initial settings.
Test after the print speed has been set (see S command) and make
further adjustments until you have found the settings which best
apply to your unique application.
