Page Size; Creating A Full Bleed Print - Brady BradyJet J2000 User Manual

Note: Most applications allow you to change these same printer driver options from their "Print"
screens. Some applications such as Brady Workstation save your settings with the label,
others use settings only for the current print job just sent to the printer.

Page Size

If you are using Brady Workstation, this setting is adjusted during the label setup wizard. If you are
using a different program you will need to set this to the dimensions of your label. Keep in mind that the
dimensions are always relative to the width and height of the actual label in the printer. Orientation of
an image on the label should not change this setting. See
minimum and maximum label sizes.

Creating a Full Bleed Print

If you are having trouble making the image cover the entire label, first make sure the image is printing
at least as big as the label size you have selected. To accomplish this using Brady Workstation, make
the image a few millimeters larger than the label by dragging the image over the edge of the label on
all sides. The bounding box around the image will turn red when it is over the edge of the label. Try
printing again to see if it covers the entire label. If there is still an issue, adjust these settings in the
printer driver preferences:
• Page Size Increase the page size width in the driver preferences by .05 inches. Increase the
height by .05 inches. If you are using Brady Workstation, simply change the size under the File
Menu - Label Setup. Increase the size of the image to fit the new larger page size. If you are
using other graphics programs you will need to change the page size in the application and in
the printer driver preferences.
• Left Margin Offset Decrease the left margin offset by half the increase of the page size width.
In this case you would decrease the value by 6 (which corresponds to .025 inches). This will
center the page size increase so there is a .025 inch over bleed on both left and right sides.
• Top of Form Increase the TOF by 6. This will cause the printer to start printing before the label
and ensure a fully printed label.
