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.
Its effect is identical to the
<ESC><ESC>
<ESC><ESC>
<ESC> A3 Base Reference point command. 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 value that can be set
is 1424 (2848 in Expanded mode).
Each dot is .0049 inches (.125mm)
Note: This setting can be overridden by the Base Reference Point Command. It is
recommended that you relocate printing in your software as adjustments made here
will affect all of you label formats.
To access this setting perform the following steps:
