Vertical Offset is the distance down from the leading edge (the edge of the label that comes out of the printer first) to the first vertical print position. A positive setting moves the label edge out of the printer while making it negative moves it bsack into the printer. Horizontal Offset is distance that the label image is shifted either to the right or left on the label. The image is shifted to the left (towards the inside edge of the label) for a positive setting and it is shifted to the right (towards the outside edge of the label) for a negative setting. This setting changes the base reference point for all subsequent label jobs. It’s effect is identical to the <ESC>A3 Base Reference point command. Since the printer moves the label in discrete steps equal to the size of the print dot, the units of measure for Vertical and Horizontal Offset distance is dots. The maximum values that can be set is dependent up[on the print head resolution. If you exceed the allowable limit, the printer will not accept the setting.

1.Use the LINE key to step the counter to the desired setting. The display will increment one step for each time the FEED key is pressed.

The Calendar is a optional feature in the M10e printer allowing the date and time to be set manually using the LCD Display or via the <ESC>WT Calendar Set command. This screen will not be displayed if the Calendar Option is not installed. The last setting, set either manually via software command, received by the printer will be the value used. The format of the display is YY/MM/DD hh:mm (Year/Month/Day/hours:minutes).The date format is fixed and cannot be changed. This display will only appear if the Calendar Option is installed in the printer.
