Stop Adjust
The Stop Adjust value is given as a positive or negative number of
dots. The default value is 0, which stops the media feed in a
position suitable for tear off operation:
• A positive stop adjustment means that the normal media feed
after the printing is completed will be increased by the
specified value.
• A negative stop adjustment means that the normal media feed
after the printing is completed will be decreased by the
specified value.
The media parameters tell the firmware the characteristics of the
media that will be used, so that the printout will be positioned
correctly and attain the highest possible quality.
The size of the printable area is defined by three parameters; X-
Start, Width, and Length.
X-Start
Specifies the position of the origin along the dots on the
printhead.
The default X-start value prevents printing outside the labels
when the liner is slightly wider than the labels. If you want to
maximize the print width, reset the X-start value to its default
value 0.
By increasing the value for the X-start parameter, the origin will
be moved outwards, away from the inner edge of the media path.
In other words, the larger X-start value, the wider inner margin
and the less available print width.
Width
Specifies the width of the printable area in number of dots from
the origin. Thus, the sum of the X-start and width values gives
the outer margin of the printable area. The width should be set to
prevent printing outside the media, which may harm the
printhead.
