Offset)
Print Position (Pitch Offset)
After the pitch has been set with the LCD panel, it is sometimes desirable to make minor
adjustments. This can be done using the PRINT POSITION potentiometer on the control panel.
This potentiometer is set at the factory so that it has a range of +/- 3.75 mm. The midpoint setting
should have no effect on the print position. Turning the potentiometer all the way
counterclockwise should move the print position 3.75 mm towards the leading edge of the tag or
label. Turning it all the way clockwise should move the print position away from the leading edge
3.75 mm. This adjustment is best made while printing the actual tags or labels.
Adjust the PRINT POSITION potentiometer on the front panel until the first print position is at the
desired location on the label. If the potentiometer does not have enough range, then you will
have to change the pitch setting using the LCD panel display. (see page 3-14)
Adjusting the PRINT POSITION potentiometer will not affect the stop position of the label and the
cut/tear-off position, it only affects the print position.
