The ## indicates the number you need to enter to increase the darkness.
For example, you would type the line as VARIABLE DARKNESS 20.
Start with 20, then gradually increase the number to 30, then 40, and
so on. The higher the number, the hotter the printhead and the darker
the print.
NOTE: A darkness setting of 50 or more may decrease the life of the
printhead.
Send this file to the printer by going to File->Print. The printer will not

NOTE: If using a UNIX/Linux system, create a text file in an editor, then print or
copy the file to the printer.
