Left Margin Offset

This will be factory calibrated. If fine tuning is needed, increase this setting to move the image right on the label; decrease this setting to move the image to the left on the label. The unit of measure is 0.1mm.

Top of Form (TOF)

This setting allows you to fine tune the print starting position on your label stock. This will be factory calibrated. If fine tun- ing is needed, increase this value to move the image down on the label. Decrease this value to move the image up the label. The unit of measure is 0.1mm.

Click the Test button to send a test print to the printer that will help you adjust the TOF and Left Margin Offset. The printer will print the pattern shown. Adjust the values so that both black bars print on the label with no white space on the label and no ink on the liner.

If Output Mode (described earlier in this section) is set to Present, the printer will present your labels over the Tear Bar for easy removal. This tear off position is set at the factory. If fine tuning is needed to align the break in your label stock over the Tear Bar, increase this setting to eject the label further; decrease this setting to eject the label stock less. The unit of measure is 0.1 mm.

Cut Position

If a label cutter attachment is connected to the printer you can fine tune the cut position between the labels. Increase this value to move the label further out before the cut; decrease this value to eject the label stock less before the cut.
