4.5.2.1 Offset Position (offsetX, offsetY)
The offset feature of the LAYOUT menu allows you to make fine adjustments to the printing coordinates. Since the DEClaser 2100 printer is a page printer, it is not possible to adjust the print position by manually shifting the position of the page. Do not use offset to move normal data to different positions on the page. It should only be used as a mechanism to center the print on the page. Test Print B is typically used when adjusting the offset positions.
You cannot set offset positions using escape sequences from the host computer. You must select them from the control panel.
Figure 4–6 shows the directions of offsetX and offsetY in relation to the direction that paper is fed into the printer.
NOTE: Offset values are changed in increments and decrements of approximately 0.1" from the default value of +0.0". For example, an offset value of +5.0 moves the print origin approximately 0.5".
