PITCH OFFSET
+00mm
The label Pitch is the distance from the leading edge (the
edge that comes out of the printer first) of a label and the
leading edge of the next label. The leading edge position of
the label can be adjusted relative to the print head +/- 49mm
in increments of 1mm. Once the position is set, it can be fine
adjusted +/- 3.75mm using the PITCH potentometer on the
Adjustment Panel.
1. The cursor will initially be positioned over the Pitch
Direction setting. Pressing the LINE key will step the
setting to the positive (+) ornegative (-) selection. A
positive selection moves the leading edge of the label
forward (away from the print head) while a negative
selection moves the leading edge of the label back into
the mechanism.
2. Once the correct direction is selected, pressing the FEED
key will accept the setting and advance the cursor to the
Offset selection.
3. Use the LINE key to step the first digit of the counter to
the desired setting. The display will increment one step
each time the LINE key is pressed. The reading will
advance to a setting of 4 after which it will automatically
wrap and start at 0 again.
4. Press the FEED key to accept the setting and advance
the cursor to the second digit. Again use the LINE key to
step to the desired setting. Once it is correct, pressing the
FEED key will step to the next adjustment.
You may wish to print a test label after completing the
adjustments to ensure they are correct.
