• Paper Feed Adjustments
There are two settings that control the amount of blank paper to
be fed before the actual printing starts and after it is completed:
- Start Adjustment
This setting feeds out or pulls back a specified length of paper
before the printing of a label, ticket or portion of strip starts.
The value is entered as dots, where a positive value (i.e. no
leading minus sign) feeds out the paper and a negative value
(i.e. with a leading minus sign) pulls it back.
- Stop Adjustment
This setting works the same way as the Start Adjustment, but
is executed after the printing of a label etc. is completed.
By means of these two settings, you can, for example, control the
paper feed so the printing starts at the top of the label and the web
can still be torn off between two labels.
Setup strings, examples:
SETUP "DETECTION,FEEDADJ,STARTADJ,-220" ↵
SETUP "DETECTION,FEEDADJ,STOPADJ,154" ↵
• Print Window
The area on the paper which can be used for printing ("print
window"), is specified by means of three settings, which are all
given as a positive number of dots. It is important to set the print
window so that no printing can occur outside the paper or ribbon,
which may shorten the life of the printhead due to overheating.
- X-Start
Specifies an offset from the innermost dot on the printhead.
When the X-Start value is set to 0, the print area starts 1 mm
(0.04") from the edge of the paper, that is closest to the print-
er's centre-line wall. By increasing the X-Start value, you can
move the origin (X=0) outwards, making the inner margin
wider.
- Width
Specifies the width of the print area, starting from the posi-
tion of the origin as defined by the X-Start value. Obviously,
the sum of the X-Start and Width values must not exceed the
width of the printhead (832 dots).
- Length
Specifies the length of the printable area from the origin and
along the Y-axis. This value decides the maximum amount of
paper fed when using any media type except "Var. length
strip" (see Media Type below). In case of labels, tickets, tags,
or fixed portions of strip, enter the exact length.
