SATO M-8400RV Printer User Manual


 
There are two methods available to make sure your printed output will appear
correctly on your label. They are as follows:
1. Send the Base Reference Point command as part of your data to the printer to set a new
base reference point for your label.
Calculate the distance (in dots) from the normal base reference point to the closest edge
of the label. For an 8 dpmm printer, this would be:
Label Width = 2" x 25.4 mm/in x 8 dpmm = 406 dots
The new Base Reference Point then becomes:
New Base Reference Point = Maximum Print Width - Label Width
