Paper Feed Shift - Printronix T5000 User Manual

•
Peel-Off. Prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without assistance.
The printer waits for you to take away the label before printing the next
one (on-demand printing). The label liner is rewound on the internal
rewinder. A "Remove Label" message will display to remind you to
remove the label before the next one can be printed.
•
Cut. When the optional media cutter is installed, it automatically cuts
media after each label is printed or can cut after a specified number of
labels have been printed using a software cut command. It cuts
continuous roll paper, labels, or tag stock.
The factory default is Continuous.

Paper Feed Shift

This option represents the distance to advance a label (+ shift) or pull back
(– shift) when the Tear-Off Strip, Tear-Off, Peel-Off, or Cut media handling
option is enabled. The allowable range is -0.50 inches to the current Label
Length value setting up to a maximum of 12.80 inches in .01 inch increments.
The factory default is 0.00 inches.
Label Length
This option specifies the user-selected Label Length in inches or millimeters.
In most applications this user-selected Label Length will match the Physical
label length. Physical label length is the actual label length of the media
installed.
When setting label length, consider the following:
Label Length can be manually entered via the control panel MEDIA
CONTROL menu or sent via host computer using the appropriate software
command.
A Host Forms Length (Label Length) value sent from the host computer will
override and change the manually entered Label Length value in the MEDIA
CONTROL menu.
•
Physical Label Length is the actual measurable length of the label. The
following list of different media types explains how the physical label
lengths are determined:
•
Die-cut labels – measurable length of the removable label (leading
edge to trailing edge). This does not include the liner material or gap.
•
Tag Stock with notches or holes – measurable length from the trailing
edge of one notch or hole to the trailing edge of the next notch or
hole.
•
Tag Stock with black marks on underside – measurable length from
the leading edge of one black mark to the leading edge of the next
black mark.
•
Continuous media (no label length indicators) – measurable length
should be within + 1-2% the Label Length value entered in the MEDIA
CONTROL menu or the value sent via host software command.
