SATO M-8400RV manual VERT. Offset, Horizontal Offset and Direction

Section 2. Installation and Configuration

measure for Vertical Offset distance is dots. The maximum value that can be set is 1424(2848 in Expanded mode).

VERT. OFFSET

V:0000

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 the 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 5-19).

HOR. DIRECTION

+-

1.Use the LINE key to step the underline to either the positive (+) or negative (-) selection. A positive selection increases moves the horizontal reference point for the label to the right edge of the label, towards the outside, while a negative selection moves the horizontal reference point for the label to the left, towards the inside of the printer.

2.Once the correct direction setting is underlined, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and advance to the Horizontal Offset adjustment.
