measure for Vertical Offset distance is dots. The maximum value that can be set is
1424(2848 in Expanded mode).
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 the 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
5-19).
1. Use the LINE key to step the underline to either the positive (+) or negative (-)
selection. A positive selection increases moves the horizontal reference point for
the label to the right edge of the label, towards the outside, while a negative
selection moves the horizontal reference point for the label to the left, towards
the inside of the printer.
2. Once the correct direction setting is underlined, pressing the FEED key will accept
the setting and advance to the Horizontal Offset adjustment.
