Setting Printer Darkness

Legacy Poster

I have a simple .Net application that prints a label. The label's bar code is printing too dark.

 

I have tried modifying the Darkness in the Label Format itself, using the BarTender 2016 R2 program, but the setting is not honored when I print using the SDK. I have been looking in the SDK documentation for any way to access the Darkness setting of the document or of the Printer's settings, but I have not been able to find any way to do that.

 

Can anyone suggest a way for me to fine-tune the Darkness when I print from the SDK?

 

Thanks,

Andy

  Never mind, I figured out my problem.

   

  Thanks.

  Hi Andy,
  
  I realize that this post is 2 years old, but I am trying to do the exact same thing, albeit with version 2016 R4. How do I programmatically set the print darkness setting?

  I am trying to print a document using print command script. There are multiple templates, and each has its own data file however there is only one printer. Now I would like to print the following way:

  1. Sample1.btw with Speed as 2  per second and Darkness at 7.

  2. Sample2.btw with Speed as 4 per second and Darkness at 8.

  What setting or parameters need to be set in the trigger file, to achieve this? Currently my top two lines look like the following.

  %BTW% /AF="D:\Label_Print\Sample1.btw" /PRN="ZebraPrinter" /C=2 /R=3 /P /D=%Trigger File%" /Close 

  %END%
