SATO CL612VA, CL608VA manual Vertical Offset Setting, Horizontal Offset and Direction

Section 2. Installation and Configuration

Vertical Offset Setting

Vertical Offset is the distance down from the leading edge (the edge of the label that comes out of the printer first) to the first vertical print position. It is always a positive setting since making it negative would move it up and off the printable label. This setting changes the base reference point for all subsequent label jobs. It’s effect is identical to the <ESC>A3 Base Reference point command (see page 4-19). Since the printer moves the label in discrete steps equal to the size of the print dot, the units of measure for Vertical Offset distance is dots. The maximum values that can be set for the different model printers are:

VERT. OFFSET

V:0000

	CL608	CL612	CL408	CL412
Vertical Offset	0 to1424	0 to 2136	0 to1424	0 to 2136

Note: This setting can be overriden by the Base Reference Point Command, page 4-19).

1.Use the LINE key to step the counter to the desired setting. The display will increment one step for each time the LINE key is pressed. If the LINE key is held pressed for more than two seconds, it will automatically go into the fast scroll mode. The reading will advance to the maximum setting (the maximum vertical offset) after which it will automatically wrap and start at “0000” again.

2.Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and advance to the Horizontal Direction display.

Note: The printers will not “wrap” images that extend beyond the print area. Any part of the image that extends beyond the print area will be truncated.

Horizontal Offset and Direction

Horizontal Offset is distance that the label image is shifted either to the right or left on the label. The image is shifted to the left (towards the inside edge of the label) for a positive setting and it is shifted to the right (towards the outside edge of the label) for a negative setting. This setting changes the base reference point for all subsequent label jobs. It’s effect is identical to the <ESC>A3 Base Reference point command (see page 4-19 )Since the printer can only print in discrete steps equal to the size of the print dot, the units of measure for the Horizontal Offset distance is dots.

Note: This setting can be overriden by the Base Reference Point Command, page 4-19).
