Strip Position Fine Adjustment Example
+ 0.0 mm
+ 3.0 mm
- 3.0 mm
NOTE: The print stop position when printing the label in strip mode varies according to label length for
the strip mode printing stops so that the edge of the strip shaft is 4 mm from the middle of the
gap. This is because the gap length is programmed as 2 mm. When the gap length is 5 mm
or more, the effective print length should be set to the value obtained by subtracting 2 mm from
the label pitch, that is, set the gap length to 2 mm. If the print format hangs over the gap as
a result, correct the print start position. If the print stop position is improper, refer to Section 6.3.2
and make a fine adjustment.
