• Media Feed Adjustments
There are two settings that control the amount of blank media to be fed
before the actual printing starts and after it is completed:
- Start Adjustment
This setting feeds out or pulls back a specifi ed length of media
before the printing of a label, ticket, or portion of continuous stock
starts. The value is entered as dots, where a positive value (no
leading minus sign) feeds out the media and a negative value
(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
media feed so the printing starts at the top of the label and the media
still can be torn off in the gap between two labels.
Setup strings, examples:
SETUP "DETECTION,FEEDADJ,STARTADJ,-136"
SETUP "DETECTION,FEEDADJ,STOPADJ,75"
• 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 printhead. 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.
