Special Notes
1. This becomes the new setting in the printer configuration
for all subsequent print jobs, unless changed. The setting
is stored in non-volatile memory and is not affected by
cycling power.
2. 1 is the minimum darkness setting, and 5 is the maxi-
mum darkness setting.
3. This command adjusts the print darkness in discrete
steps. The range of this command is set using the
<ESC>CD Print Darkness Fine Adjustment command,
(See page 100). Changing the Print Darkness Fine Adju-
stment setting will affect this command.
