5.5Setting Start of Print and Peel Position
Every effort has been made to make the default parameters work for your application right out of the box. Due to the vast number of software packages, applicators, and label formats this is not always the case. The following steps may help your setup of the printer.
Step | Description |
1 | Disable the Host Positioning parameters. |
| Set COMPATABILITY/HOST POSITIONING to IGNORE. This |
| ensures that after setup the host label software cannot override the |
| printer. |
|
|
2 | Concentrate on getting any printed fields aligned on your label |
| media. |
| a. (Only required on Right Handed printer models). Select the |
| LABEL OPTIONS/LABEL WIDTH to the proper value. A |
| value larger is better than smaller. |
| b. (Up/Down Adjustment). Modify the BASIC |
| FUNCTION/START of PRINT parameter until print is |
| horizontally aligned. |
| c. (Left/Right Adjustment). Modify the BASIC |
| FUNCTION/COLUMN ADJUST until print is vertically |
| aligned. |
| The label should be printing in the correct locations. |
|
|
3 | Adjusting the correct Peel Position using the LABEL |
| OPTIONS/PEEL POSITION parameter. |
| This parameter is measured relative the COMPATABLITY/ |
| OFFSET BIAS selection. If the Offset Bias is set to 220 (default) |
| then setting the Peel Position to 245 will extend the peel position |
| an additional .25 inches. A value of 320 would be an additional 1 |
| inch. |
