Printer Drivers

Printer drivers are available for download from the Cognitive web site, http://www.cognitive.com.

For a Barcode Blaster or Code Courier model printer, select the legacy model printer driver. For the Advantage, Solus, and Del Sol model printers, select the driver for your Windows operating system.

The Code Ranger printer model can use any 2" model printer driver, for example, the Advantage BT2 driver.

Serial Communication

If you are using a serial port for printing on your Cognitive printer, you will need to use a null modem cable. Although it looks like a standard serial cable, the pin configuration is different.

The default comm settings in the printers are: 9600, N, 8, 1.

Parallel Communication

Use a standard (Centronix) parallel cable. Do not use a bi-directional cable.

The port must be set up as an LPT port, not an ECP port. If the port is configured as ECP, printing may be sporadic.

Printing Too Light

Type in the following commands from a DOS Editor or from Notepad on your computer:

!0 0 0 0 (Must use zero; space between each)

VARIABLE DARKNESS ##

VARIABLE WRITE
