AGFA 2100 Printer User Manual


 
4.5.2.1 Offset Position (offsetX, offsetY)
The offset feature of the LAYOUT menu allows you to make fine
adjustments to the printing coordinates. Since the DEClaser 2100 printer
is a page printer, it is not possible to adjust the print position by manually
shifting the position of the page. Do not use offset to move normal data to
different positions on the page. It should only be used as a mechanism to
center the print on the page. Test Print B is typically used when adjusting
the offset positions.
You cannot set offset positions using escape sequences from the host
computer. You must select them from the control panel.
Figure 4–6 shows the directions of offsetX and offsetY in relation to the
direction that paper is fed into the printer.
NOTE: Offset values are changed in increments and decrements of
approximately 0.1" from the default value of +0.0". For example, an offset
value of +5.0 moves the print origin approximately 0.5".
