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

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).
