Appendix C — Setup Parameters

origin is moved further back from the forward edge of the copy.

•A negative start adjustment means that the specified length of media will be pulled back before the printing starts. Thus, the origin is moved towards the forward edge of the copy.

Stop Adjust

The Stop Adjust value is given as a positive or negative number of dots. Default value is 0, which stops the media feed in a position suitable for tear off operation.

•A positive stop adjustment means that the normal media feed after the printing is completed will be increased by the specified value.

•A negative stop adjustment means that the normal media feed after the printing is completed will be decreased by the specified value.

Media Setup

The media parameters tell the firmware the characteristics of the media that will be used, so that the printout will be positioned correctly and attain the highest possible quality.

Media Size

The size of the printable area is defined by three parameters; X- Start, Width, and Length.

X-Start

Specifies the position of the origin along the dots on the printhead.

The default X-start value prevents printing outside the labels when the liner is slightly wider than the labels. If you want to maximize the print width, reset the X-start value to its default: 0.

By increasing the value for the X-start parameter, the origin will be moved outwards, away from the inner edge of the media path. In other words, the larger X-start value, the wider inner margin and the less available print width.
