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.

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.

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).
