Horizontal Offset and Direction Setting
Horizontal Offset is the distance that the label image is shifted either to the right or left
on the label. The image is shifted to the left (towards the inside edge of the label) for a
positive setting and is shifted to the right (towards the outside edge of the label) for a
negative setting. This setting changes the base reference point for all subsequent label
jobs. It’s effect is identical to the <ESC>
printer can only print in discrete steps equal to the size of the print dot, the units of
measure for the Horizontal Offset distance is dots.
Note: This setting can be overridden by the Base Reference Point Command. It is
recommended that you relocate printing in your software as adjustments made here will
affect all of your label formats.
To access this setting perform the following steps:
STEP PROCEDURE
1. Use the LINE key to step the underline to either the positive (+) or
negative (-) selection. A positive selection increases (moves) the
horizontal reference point for the label to the right edge of the label,
towards the outside, while a negative selection moves the horizontal
reference point for the label to the left, towards the inside of the printer.
2. Once the setting is underlined, press the .EED key to accept the setting
and advance the display to the Horizontal Offset adjustment.
3. Use the LINE key to step the counter to the desired setting. The display
will increment one step each time the LINE key is pressed. Press the
.EED key to advance to each subsequent digit. The horizontal direction
set in the previous step will be displayed in front of the Offset setting.
4. Once the setting is correct, press the .EED key to accept the setting
and advance to the Sensor Threshold display.
