enter that number in the offset field. The offset value will be applied to all
messages that are printed with the printhead Be sure to adjust the offset
value anytime you move a printhead.
Dot Size

number, the darker the print.

width of the elements on each line may differ with the printhead type.
Adjust the aspect ratio for each printhead individually if necessary, to
achieve consistency in font width.
