Altering Print Speed and or Print Head Temp

andystevensname opened this issue · comments

My images are printing out very quickly, which I am thankful for. But they are also coming out gray, when they are (mostly) pure black text. I am wondering if this is the byproduct of the print speed or the temperature of the print head. Is there a way to change the value with, perhaps, set_print_speed(speed) to see if this changes things? And what would those values be?
Thank you for your project, forgive me for asking so many questions.

I'll answer myself. On the TM-T88V printer.set_print_speed(0) prints at full speed, slightly gray, while printer.set_print_speed(1) prints at a slightly slower speed with a much darker image. Upping the number past 1 doesn't seem to do much. Sorry for asking before testing myself!
