Page Width

This option specifies the width of the image to be printed. When Auto Label Map is enabled, Page Width is not used for boundary checking; therefore, it is possible that the form is designed for a wider page than the Page Width settings. The values may be specified in inches or millimeters.

The allowable range in inches is 1.0 to the maximum print width of the printer (6.4 and 8.5 inches for the T3306 and T3308, respectively), in 0.1-inch increments. The allowable range in millimeters is 25 to the maximum print width of the printer (162 and 216 millimeters for the T3306 and T3308, respectively), in 1-millimeter increments. The factory default values are the maximum print width of the printers in inches or millimeters.

Page Length

This option specifies the vertical perf-to-perf distance of the continuous-form paper (i.e., the physical form length). The values may be specified in inches or millimeters. The allowable range in inches is 1.0 to 24.0, in 0.5-inch increments. The factory default value in inches is 4.0. The allowable range in millimeters is 25 to 610, in 1-mm increments. the factory default value in millimeters is 102. Refer to Appendix C for further information on the various considerations involved when setting the page length.

Ver. Image Shift

This option specifies the amount to shift an image vertically up (±) or down (+) for precise positioning on the page. The actual height of the image is not affected by this parameter. The values may be specified in inches or millimeters. The allowable range in inches is ±1.00 to +1.00 inches, in 0.01-inch increments, displayed as xx/100. The allowable range in millimeters is ±25.4 to +25.4, in 0.25-mm increments. The factory default value in inches or millimeters is 0.

Hor. Image Shift

This option specifies the amount to shift an image horizontally left (±) or right (+) for precise positioning on the page. The actual width of the image is not affected by this parameter. The values may be specified in inches or millimeters. The allowable range in inches is ±1.00 to +1.00 inches, in 0.01-inch increments, displayed as xx/100. The allowable range in millimeters is ±25.4 to +25.4, in 0.25-mm increments. The factory default value in inches or millimeters is 0.
