HP 1320 LaserJet printer prints too light
I bought a HP LaserJet 1320 printer less than three weeks ago. The
problem I'm having with it is that it is printing much lighter than it should be. I THINK the problem is that the printer is in EconoMode for the toner. Can anyone please tell me whether the 1320 is in EconoMode by default? If the printer is in EconoMode by default then my next question is: how do I get it out of this mode WITHOUT using a driver made for Windows? Let me explain my special situation... Because I have cerebral palsy, it would be extremely difficult for me to use a mouse. Consequently, I work in DOS, which I love. Therefore, as I see it, the only way I have to get the printer out of EconoMode (if EconoMode is the problem) is for me to issue the proper PCL or PJL command(s) to the printer. (I would have no trouble doing this, because I am proficient in writing computer software in QuickBasic.) My problem is: I can't find the proper commands to get my 1320 out of EconoMode. The tech support guy at Hewlett Packard couldn't help me with this. So, to sum up, I'd like to know: 1. if you think my light print problem is cause by EconoMode, and 2. if EconoMode is the problem, what are the PCL or PJL command(s) that would get the printer out of this mode. Your help in this matter would be VERY, VERY much appreciated. Bill Geluso |
