Chapter 4 — Configuring Print Engine and Media Settings
74 PA30 Print Engine User’s Manual
• Set the Ribbon Constant to the value listed in the table and
decrease or increase it for lighter or darker images respectively
until you are satisfied with the printout quality.
As a general rule, high energy and/or high print speed will
shorten the life of the printhead. Never use paper type and print
speed settings higher than necessary for obtaining acceptable
printout quality and throughput speed.
If the ambient temperature is lower than +15°C (+59°F), decrease
the print speed by 50 mm/sec.
