Adjust print alignment using the Brady Status J5000. Go to the Alignment Tab (third
tab).
Four items can be adjusted here:
Top of Form (TOF) - This value moves the print start position up or down on the
•
label. Add to the current value to move the printed label down or toward the
printer. Subtract from the current value to move the printed label up or away from
the printer. After adjusting the value click the "Set" button to send the value to the
printer.
• Tear off Position - This value adjusts the position of the last label printed after it has
been presented for tear off. This only applies if the output mode is set to "Present
the label." Add to the current value to move the tear point closer to the printer.
Subtract from the current value to move the tear point away from the printer. After
adjusting the value click the "Set" button to send the value to the printer.
• Cutter Offset - This setting will adjust the position of the cut (if enabled). By default
it should cut in the center of gap between the labels. Add to the current value to
move the cut toward the printer. Subtract from the current value to move the cut
away from the printer. After adjusting the value click the "Set" button to send the
value to the printer.
Left Margin Offset - This value moves the printed label left or right. Add to the

current value to move the printed label to the right. Subtract from the current value
to move the printed label to the left. After adjusting the value, click the "Set"
button to send the value to the printer. Note: Before adjusting this value make sure
the label stock is properly loaded so that there is no gap between the edge of the
liner and the fixed throat guide. Any gap at this point will greatly affect the Left
Margin Offset value needed to align the label. Also, if you adjust the value with
improperly loaded label stock you will have to adjust it again if you load the label
stock correctly the next time.

You may have to make several adjustments to one or
more of these values. After each adjustment you can
click the Test Print button on the printer dialog box to
print a small test pattern on the label. This will help you
find the proper alignment value.
