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:
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).
