5. A method for setting parameters for a two-color point of sale printer comprising:

printing at one or more printing speeds, wherein one or more black images are produced corresponding to each printing speed;

selecting the black image with a desired quality;

printing a color at one or more energy levels at the printing speed corresponding to the selected black image, wherein one or more second color images are produced;

selecting the second color image with a desired characteristic; and

storing a printer parameter corresponding to the selected first and second color images, wherein the printer parameter includes the printing speed corresponding to the selected black image and the energy level corresponding to the selected color image.
