Parameter		Action/Explanation
B A C K F E E D		Backfeed Sequence
		This parameter establishes when and how much label backfeed occurs after a label is
		removed or cut in the peel-off or cutter modes. It has no effect in rewind or tear-off
		modes. This parameter setting can be superseded by the ~JS instruction when
		received as part of a label format (see the ZPL II Programming Guide Volume I).
		The difference between the value entered and 100% establishes how much backfeed
		occurs before the next label is printed. For example, a value of 40 means that 40% of
		the backfeed takes place after the label is removed or cut. The remaining 60% takes
		place before the next label is printed. A value of “before” means that all backfeed takes
		place before the next label is printed.
		Default: Default (90%)
		Selections: Default, after, before, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, off

LABEL	TOP	Adjusting Label Top Position
		The label top position adjusts the print position vertically on the label. Positive numbers
		adjust the label top position further down the label (away from the printhead); negative
		numbers adjust the position up the label (toward the printhead).
		Default: +0
		Range: –120 to +120 dot rows
		1.	Press SELECT to select the parameter.
		2.	Press PLUS (+) to increase the value. The displayed value represents dots.
		3.	Press MINUS (–) to decrease the value.
		4.	Press SELECT to accept any changes and deselect the parameter.
LEFT	POSITION	Adjusting Left Position
		This parameter establishes how far from the left edge of a label the format begins to

print by adjusting horizontal positioning on the label. Positive numbers adjust the printing to the left by the number of dots selected; negative numbers shift printing to the right.

Default: 0000

Range: –9999 to +9999
