The label placement value controls the position of the label on the device.
Using the factory default setting (autocenter), the 2500 positions the label
in the center of the device.
You can change this parameter either from the 2500’s front panel or in
TaskLink. To change the value in TaskLink, refer to the
ProMaster

where X represents the current setting. Enter a number from 0 to 254 to
change the setting. Entering 0 places the left end of the label on the
leading edge of the device. Each increase in this value moves the label
0.010 inch further away (delayed) from the leading edge of the device.
After entering the value, press

Dot Split Value
This setting is adjusted at the factory and should not need to be changed
unless you need to adjust print quality. If the vertical strokes on your
label characters are fuzzy you may need to adjust the dot split value. Any
change in this value affects all the character fonts.
To check or adjust the split value, follow the steps below.
1. Create a label file using the letter E in the 20 font.
2. Select the PRINT ONLY command in the local mode (see page 2-22).
3. Press
LOWER CASE

4. Enter a new value from the 2500’s keyboard and press
ENTER
to
save the new dot split value.
5. Press
START
to print and examine the next sample label.
6. Closely examine the vertical stroke on the letter E to see if it is clear
and formed from a single column of dots (see Figure 2-17). Repeat
this process until you are satisfied with the quality of the printed
character.
Additional Commands for the Thermal Printer
Two commands, Intensity and Print Shift, are specific to the thermal
printer.
•
Print Shift
allows you to adjust the vertical position of the characters
on the label.
•
Intensity
allows you to adjust the darkness of text or graphics on the
label.
The values for these parameters can be changed using the STOP
command while the 2500 is processing devices. Each parameter, along
with the STOP command for changing its current setting, is described in
the following sections.
Adjusting Print
Quality and Position
Two parameters control the position of text and graphics on the label. By
adjusting the values of these parameters, accurate placement of text and
graphics on the label can be achieved.
•The
print shift
value affects the vertical position of the printed image,
moving the position of characters or graphics from the top to bottom
of the label (Y axis) on the label (see Figure 2-18).
•The
label calibration
value affects the horizontal position of the
printed image on the label, moving the position of the text or
graphics from left to right (see Figure 2-19).
