Q6
This record contains print density information. It is allowed one data byte
and is defined as follows:
To select a print density of 26 CPI for the dot matrix printer, the record
would be

. If this record is not received, the 12 CPI print
density is assumed.
Q7
This record defines the device pin 1 orientation at three locations on the
2500:
• Out of the input tube.
• The label application area.
• Into the output (receiving) tube.
This information allows the 2500 to rotate the device correctly before it
inserts it into the programming station, labels it, and inserts it into an
output (receiving) tube.
The location of pin 1 with respect to the 2500 and the direction of travel, is
represented as a number from 0 to 3 displayed in the diagram below:
All three pin locations are represented in one-binary byte that is
converted to hex. An example of the rotation byte is illustrated below.
