The paper settings above are optimized for bar code printing. This
may cause an impression of a somewhat weak printout for pure text
and image printing. Increasing the energy to the printhead will
make the printout blacker at the expense of the quality of bar codes.
When extra black printout is desired, use one of the following setup
options (direct thermal printing only):
UBI DT 110+
15% more energy to printhead.
UBI DT 110++
30% more energy to printhead. 8 dots/mm only
Due to the increased amount of energy to the printhead, a more
frequent cleaning of the printhead is recommended if preprint or
varnishes are used on the thermal paper in connection with these
setup options.
In addition to the standard options above, there are some thermal
paper with similar characteristics, which also can be used, although
UBI does not guarantee the same printout quality, especially not at
vertical bar code printing (“ladder style”).
