Pitch Offset + 00mm

Section 3. Configuration

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 (+) or negative (-) 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.
