Operator Darkness Control
The Operator Darkness Control switch allows the operator to modify the darkness setting
without modifying the program or driver setting sent to the printer. This allows the user to
adjust setting for minor variations in media and printers.
The control switch has three (3) settings: Low (1), Medium (2) and High (3). The Low (1)
setting makes no change to the actual Darkness setting as set by programming or driver
setting. The Medium (2) setting increases the Darkness level by 3, i.e. if the printer is set to the
default darkness level of 20, then the actual darkness applied while printing will be 23. The
High (3) setting will add six (6) darkness levels to the set darkness level.
Caution • The printer power should be turned off before connecting or disconnecting the
communications and power cables.
