reduction
Sets the correction factor for the temperature compensation.
The higher the selected setting, the greater the reduction of
the driving power when the print head temperature rises.

activated, the driving power of the print head – and
therefore indirectly the print contrast – are reduced. Reduction starts at a temperature of 26°C. The maximum value is
maintained at 54°C and above.
Readout example
:
The printing layout contains a lot of black areas. For this reason, the temperature reduction is activat-
ed with 40%.

= 40%.
Now, if the print head temperature rises above 26°C, the driving power will be reduced automatically.
Reading out the diagram results in: With a given print head temperature of approx. 40 °C, the driving
power is reduced to approx. 80%; with a supposed print head temperature of 54 °C or above, it is re-
duced to 60%.
