3.6.4 Setting Print Offset
Print Position Offset—which refers to the vertical and horizontal shifting
of the entire print area, relative to the start position of printing (V=0, H=0),
defined by default to be the bottom right hand corner of the label.
The V setting is for the Vertical print offset. A positive (+) offset means
the printing is shifted towards the print head; a negative (-) offset means
shifting away from the print head. If the PITCH setting has been used to
offset the vertical start position, then all Vertical offset adjustments are
made relative to that start position.
The H setting is for the Horizontal print offset. The + or - prefix
determines whether the offset is to the left or to the right of the reference
point.
The default value of both positions is +000 dot. The maximum values that
can be set for each is +/-400.
1.
When PRINT OFFSET is displayed, press FEED button to enter to
Print Offset setting mode.
2.
The underline indicates the digit is active for adjustment. Press LINE
button to change the setting and then press FEED button to shift to
the next digit or item for setting. When the FEED button is pressed
after setting the last digit, the setting will be save and next setting
option is displayed.
You may wish to print a test print after completing the adjustments to
ensure they are correct. Refer to Section 3.10 Test Print Mode on page
