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)
