Repeat

this

process

until

you

are

satisfied

with

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
