Print Quality
Modified by using code: Print Quality
This parameter controls the print quality. This parameter establishes the interline cool down time and
effects the print speed. It is sometimes desirable to greatly reduce the print speed due to interface
bandwidth considerations; the range of this control is extended such that a ¼ print speed can be
established. It should be noted that print quality may not change appreciably throughout the range of
quality values depending on the amount of converted image.
Saturation Level
Modified by using code: Print Characteristics
This parameter establishes the burn energy required to achieve media saturation (e.g. black level for
B&W printing). It is unit-less and a zero value is factory set for a typical media. This parameter can be
adjusted up or down to allow for different media saturation levels. This parameter is used for tonal
printing and bi-modal printing.
White Level
Modified by using code: Print Characteristics
This parameter establishes the burn energy required to begin conversion of the media coating. It is
unit-less and a zero value is factory set for a typical media. This parameter can be adjusted up or
down to allow for different media white levels and should be adjusted to a point just before the
beginning of conversion. This parameter is used for tonal printing only and has no effect for bi-modal
printing.
