Parameter
The PARAMETER sub menu is used to setup how the QM2 prints the selected message. The settings
in this menu can be unique to each message or set up as common parameters.
Note: When a parameter is changed from the common settings; an asterisk (*) will appear next to the
message number. To revert back to the common settings return to the parameter submenu and press the
asterisk (*) key. This will restore all parameters for the selected message to the settings under
COMMON.
• MSG: Select the message number to alter. If COMMON is selected, the settings will apply to
all messages that do not have a custom setting.
• DELAY: Sets the distance between when the photo eye is tripped and the start of printing. This
value can be set from 0 to 999mm (0 to 39.3in). NOTE: 25mm = 1in.
• WIDTH: Sets the width of the characters printed. This value can be set from 2 to 26mm (0.08 to
1.02in). The range of acceptable values is dependent on the SPEED and DENSITY settings.
• HEIGHT: Sets the height of the characters printed. This value can be set from 5 to 13 mm (0.2 to
0.51in).
• DENSITY: Controls the amount of ink deposited. A lower value means less ink and a lighter

dependent on the SPEED and WIDTH settings.
