Digital Label Press 3 User’s Manual

The Blade Offset indicates the distance from the tip of Press's blade to the edge of the blade shaft. Since Press will always use the same type of blade, this value should always remain the same.

Be sure the cutter settings are configured properly according to Section 7-C.

Be sure the blank size within PressPrint is set to the default size of 11.71" x 17.3".

The cutter is cutting too deeply or is not cutting deeply enough.

Your press's various print media will require unique cutter pressure settings. Use the Cutting Pressure Slide to adjust the cut pressure accordingly. See Section 3-D for instructions on properly adjusting the cutting pressure.

My image gets cut off at the top or bottom (or on the side in Landscape mode).

Remember that there is an unprintable area at the top and bottom of all print media. This is necessary so that the printer can grip the print media while feeding it back and forth. See Paper Size explanation in Section 6-D for more print area information. Be sure images fall within this print area and that the Layout/Blank Size option in PressPrint is set to 11.710" x 17.3".

Areas of my prints are "scrambled" or look like bar codes.

This signifies a data transmission error. This could be caused by a faulty or substandard printer cable or parallel port. For best results, use the USB to Parallel cable provided with your press.
