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.
