Download and install the C Series Administrator configuration software for
simplified setting of these values from the Companion CD included with the
printer or from the Cognitive web site. These values may be changed using
the Printhead Darkness setting located in the Printer Settings tab.
If unable to use the Administrator to configure this setting, type the following
commands into a text editor on the computer:
! 0 0 0 0 (Must use zero; space between each)
VARIABLE DARKNESS ##
VARIABLE WRITE
END
The ## indicates the desired value to which the Darkness will be set. This
should be a value slightly larger than the original one in order to increase the
darkness.
For example, type the line as VARIABLE DARKNESS 20. Continue to
gradually increase the number to 30, 40, 50, and so on until the desired
darkness is achieved. The higher the number the darker the print will be.
Send this file to the printer by selecting File then selecting Print. The
printer will not print anything but the ready light will blink on and off. Once
a solid Green ready light is visible, cycle the power to the printer. To verify
the settings have taken effect, perform a self test and verify the settings are
now set in the printer. For more instructions on performing a self test, please
refer to Chapter 2 of this User’s Guide.
