Using The Print Top Of Form Option - Fargo DTC550 User Manual

Using the Print Top of Form Option

Use this option to adjust the lengthwise or horizontal position of the printed image on a
card so it appears centered. (Note: When adjusting this value, keep in mind that cards
always remain in the same landscape orientation while moving through the Printer.)
The diagram (below) represents how the printed image will move in relation to the fixed
card position as a positive or negative Image Placement value is entered.
Step Procedure
1 Enter a negative value to move the printed image toward the leading edge
of the card or the card output side of the Printer.
OR
Enter a positive value to move the printed image toward the trailing edge of
the card or the card input side of the Printer.
Maximum Adjustment Range: The maximum adjustment range is ± 99.
As a rule, 20 equals about .030"/. 8mm, which is about the same as the
thickness of a standard CR-80 size card.
Caution: If the negative value is set too high, the Print Ribbon
may break.
