Setting the MSN for Other Media and Ribbon
If you are not using Intermec media and ribbon, or you misplaced your packaging with
the three-digit sensitivity number label on it, you can set the approximate sensitivity
number. The first column of the Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer Media
Sensitivity Settings tables list the approximate sensitivity settings. To achieve
acceptable print quality, enter the three-digit media sensitivity number (for example,
800).
If you are unsure of how to set the media sensitivity number, start with the highest
setting, which provides the lowest energy (800 for thermal transfer and 700 for direct
thermal), and work your way down until you achieve the best print quality. You can
also use PrintSet’s Print Quality Wizard to help achieve print quality.
