2 See the previous illustration of the Dot increments DIP switch settings.
Scan down the # of Dot Increments column until you reach the number
of dot increments you want to adjust the command forward or
backward.
3 In the bottom bank, turn on the switches that have a 1 in their column.
Turn off all other switches.
4 Press the Feed/Pause button and the printer prints out the software
configuration label and stops at the new location.
For example, you print a label and discover that it does not extend far
enough from the tear bar. You need to move the label rest point forward
10 dot increments (0.05 inch) so that the printer feeds more label out
when it finishes printing. Find 10 in the # of Dot Increments column. It
shows a 1 in the columns of DIP switches 2 and 4, and a O in the columns
of 1, 3, and 5. The 1 tells you to turn on the switch. The O tells you to
turn off the switch. Turn on switches 2 and 4. Turn off all other switches.
The Label Rest Point configuration command adjusts the point at which
the printer presents each label for removal. Use this command in
conjunction with self-strip applications. The label rest point adjust range is
from -30 5 mil increments (farthest back) to +30 5 mil increments
(farthest forward). Use a negative number if you want the printer to retract
the label a number of dot increments after it prints the label. Use a positive
number if you want the printer to feed the label a number of dot
increments after it prints the label.
There are three ways to adjust the label rest point:
• You can use the Test and Service DIP switch bank. Follow the
procedure below to use the DIP switch settings to adjust the label rest
point.
• You can set it by using the PrintSet application software. See the Paper
Handling portion of PrintSet for more information.
• You can use the IPL command. See the IPL Programming Reference
Manual (P/N 066396) for more information.
To adjust the label rest point
1 Turn off the printer.
2 Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer.
The printer prints out a hardware configuration label and then enters
Data Line Print mode.
