Forms Adjust - Intermec EasyCoder 4420 User Manual

EasyCoder 4420/4440 Bar Code Label Printer User's Manual
Note: An image printed on direct thermal media may have an X origin position which
is slightly different than the same image printed on thermal transfer media. Always use
X forms adjust and Y forms adjust with the same media type that you plan to use for
printing labels.
The default X origin is 0.10 inch (20 dot increments) from the leading edge of the label.
You can move the X origin forward or backward 30 increments, where each increment
is 5 mil.
The default Y origin is 0.00 inch from the edge of the label. You can move the Y origin
down 30 increments, where each increment is 5 mil.
X Forms Adjust
Use the X forms adjust to control the position of the label format along the length of the
label. When you move the X origin forward, the printer moves the format away from
the leading edge of the label. When you move the X origin backward, the printer moves
the format closer to the leading edge of the label. It is easier to use the TOF switch to
move the origin forward or backward, but the printer will reset itself to the default
position if you lift the printhead or cycle printer power.
To set the X forms adjust
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer.
3. In the top bank of the Test and Service mode DIP switches, turn on switches 1, 2, 3,
