• Print Window
The area on the media which can be used for printing (print
window), is specifi ed by means of three parameters, which are
all given as a positive number of dots. It is important to set
the print window so no printing can occur outside the media
or ribbon, which may shorten the life of the printhead due
to overheating.
- X-Start
Specifi es an offset from the innermost dot on the print-
head. When the X-Start value is set to 0, the print area
starts 1 mm (0.04 inches) from the edge of the media, that
is closest to the printer's center section. By increasing the
X-Start value, you can move the origin (X=0) outwards,
making the inner margin wider.
- Width
Specifi es the width of the print area, starting from the
position of the origin as defi ned by the X-Start value. The
sum of the X-Start and Width values must not exceed the
width of the printhead (832 dots.)
- Length
Specifi es the length of the printable area from the origin
and along the Y-axis. This value decides the maximum
amount of media feed when using any media type except
"Var. length strip" (see Media Type below.) In case of labels,
tickets, tags, or fi xed portions of strip, enter the exact
length.
