~SD: Set Darkness (ZPL)

Sets the absolute print darkness on the 0 to 30 scale.

Absolute darkness chooses how hard the printhead burns for later labels, from a light setting near zero up to the darkest step the firmware allows. Use a higher value when barcodes look pale, and a lower value when dots swell, the ribbon wrinkles, or the head feels too hot to leave running. This is the base level. A relative darkness command afterwards adds or subtracts from it instead of naming a new base. Save after you are happy with a test label, because some models drop the change at power off until a save is sent.
