11) Calibrate the Font ID1 X Offset and Font ID1 Y Offset settings:
a) Press the Print button. The EC2000 will create a test card using every available font ID.
b) Look only at the first character of the PAN (Font ID1) from all angles, and determine whether
the embossed character is to the left, right, above, or below the printed character.
c) If the embossed character appears to the left of the printed character, increase the Font ID1 X
Offset value and press the Save button.
d) If embossed character appears to the right of the printed character, decrease the Font ID1 X
Offset value and press the Save button.
e) If the embossed character appears higher than the printed character, increase the Font ID1 Y
Offset value and press the Save button.
f) If the embossed character appears lower than the printed character, decrease the Font ID1 Y
Offset value and press the Save button.
g) Repeat the process until the embossed and printed first character of Font ID1 is aligned.
12) Repeat the same process for Font ID2, looking only at the first character of the long alphabet string
at the bottom of the test card.
13) Repeat the same process for Font ID3 (if installed), looking only at the first character of the string
of digits on the rear of the test card. IMPORTANT NOTE: Because Font ID3 is on the rear of the
card, adjust the Font ID3 X Offset in the opposite direction than for other fonts (where the
instructions say “increase,” decrease the value instead.)
14) Repeat the same process for Font ID4, looking only at the first character of the string of front-
indented characters.
15) Calibrate the Font ID1 X SPI and Font ID1 Y SPI (steps per inch) settings:
a) Press the Print button. The EC2--- will create a test card with all font IDs. Look only at the last
character of the PAN (Font ID1) from all angles, and determine whether the embossed character
is to the left, right, above, or below the printed character.
b) Press the Advanced… button to open the Tuning (Advanced) page.
c) If the embossed character appears to the left of the printed character, increase the Font ID1 steps
per inch adjustment and press the Save button.
d) If embossed character appears to the right of the printed character, decrease the Font ID1 steps
per inch adjustment and press the Save button.
e) Press the Back button to return to the Tuning (Move Embossing) page.
f) Repeat the process until the embossed and printed last character of Font ID1 is aligned.
16) Repeat the same process for Font ID2, looking only at the last character of the long alphabet string
at the bottom of the test card.
17) Repeat the same process for Font ID3 (if installed), looking only at the last character of the string
of digits on the rear of the test card.
18) Repeat the same process for Font ID4, looking only at the last character of the string of front-
indented characters.
19) Press the Set Default button to save the settings as defaults. Enter the setup passwords.
20) Write down the settings for the current ribbon, then repeat the process for all ribbon types that will be
used in the EC2000 (YMCKO, YMCKOK, KO, etc.). After replacing the ribbon, start by setting all
values on the
Tuning (Move Embossing) and Tuning (Advanced) pages to the same values as the
previous ribbon. Only small fine-tuning to existing values may be necessary.
