Adjusting Print Quality and Label Position
This section describes several parameters that affect the appearance of
characters on the label. Some of these labeling parameters are changed by
entering commands on the 2500’s front panel while it is in the
local
mode.
Others parameters are accessible in the middle of a Task after you press
STOP
on the 2500’s keyboard and then enter a specific key sequence.
STOP commands are used to pause a Task so you can make an
adjustment and then continue the Task from the same place. A complete
list of all the STOP commands is located in Appendix B.
When you change one of these parameters, it is often useful to print a
label to evaluate the new setting.
Print Only
Command
Using the Print Only command is an efficient method of checking the
quality and position of text on a label by printing a label without having
to apply it to a device. You can experiment with new settings for the print
parameters and thereby create the label style you will use when running
your Tasks.

2. Press

to select LABELER. The 2500 displays this menu:
Label Calibration
Label calibration determines the distance between the edge of the label
and the first printed character. This value is set at the factory and does not
usually need to be changed. If the text is not being printed on the label in
the proper location, ensure that the following conditions have been met:
• Labels have been calibrated.
• Labeler’s pinch rollers are fully engaged against the drive roller.
• ADC value is correctly set to 200 (see page 5-34 for this procedure).
• Correct labels for the 2500 (“QF” in the part number) are installed.
If these actions do not resolve the placement problem, you may need to
adjust label calibration.
To change the current label calibration value from the 2500’s front panel,
put the 2500 in local mode. The 2500 displays:
Press
1
from the LABELER SETUP MENU. The 2500 displays:
Use the 2500’s keyboard to change the setting. The range is from 0 to 255.
After entering the desired value, save it by pressing the
ENTER
key. The
2500 records this value as the new default and returns to the LABELER
SETUP MENU.
Note: If you change the label calibration value, press
CAL
so that the ADC optic
performs the ADC optic label calibration (see page 2-11).
