X-Start
Specifies the position of the origin along the dots on the
printhead.
By default, X-Start is 24 dots, which places the inner margin of
the print area 3 mm (0.118 in) from the inner edge of the media
and gives a maximum print width of 424 dots (53 mm/2.087 in).
This prevents printing outside labels when the liner is slightly
wider than the labels.
If you want to use the entire media width, reset the X-Start value
to 0 which gives a maximum print width of 448 dots
(56 mm/2.205 in).
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.
Length
Specifies the length of the printable area in number of dots from
the origin along the Y-coordinate and allocates memory space for
two identical image buffers in the printer's temporary memory.
The size of each buffer can be calculated using this formula:
Buffer size (bits) = [Print length in dots] x
[Printhead width in dots]
Note: The temporary memory has other functions that also
require some memory space. To obtain a longer print area, the
memory can be increased by fitting a larger SDRAM SIMM on
the printer's CPU board as described in the Service Manual.
• The length setup also decides the amount of media feed when
using "fix length strip."
• The length setup creates an emergency stop, which works
when the printer is set up for "Label (with gaps)", "Ticket
(with mark)", or "Ticket (with gaps)." If the label stop sensor
