B5. supply_posn -300 to 300 in 1/203 inch. 0 is the default for all printers.
Adjusts the machine to print at the vertical 0,0 point on the
supply. This adjustment accounts for mechanical tolerances
from machine to machine. The supply position adjustment
only needs to be made on the initial machine setup. Adjust
the supply position if formats do not start at the 0,0 point on
the supply. Increase the supply position to move print up,
decrease to move print down on the label. To verify the 0,0
point, print a test label. See "Printing a Test Label" in Chapter
8 for more information.
You can’t change the supply position while the printer is
active. Changing the supply position will affect the print
position, dispense position, and backfeed distance. Once the
supply position is set, use the print control packet and
backfeed control packet to adjust printing and the dispense
position.
B6. cut_posn -300 to 300 in 1/203 inch. Use 0 for 9403/9805/9820/9830.
Adjusts where the tag is cut. The printer adjusts the cut
position according to the black marks on the supply. You may
need to adjust for aperture supplies. Increase to move the cut
up, decrease to move the cut down.
