Opposite Hand"Se" Printers - SATO E series Programming Manual

Section 1. Programming Concepts
NOTES:
1. The settings for these commands will revert to the default value when the printer
receives an <ESC>Z or an <ESC>*.
2. The values transmitted with these commands will remain in effect until a new
command is received.
3. This default setting is printer dependent.

OPPOSITE HAND"SE" PRINTERS

The standard "Se" print engine is referred to as a"right-hand"printer (i.e., when facing
the Control Panel, the label comes out from left to right). The M-8485Se, M-8460Se
and M-8490Se are also available in a "left-hand" (i.e., the label comes out right-to-left)
version. The M-8459Se is only available in the standard Right-Hand configuation.
The only difference in the print area is the horizontal base reference point for the
label.With the standard "Se" printer, the reference point is the first print position
nearest the inside frame. With the "left-hand" version, the reference point is the first
print position away from the frame. The same command stream sent to both printers
should print an identical label except the image may be shifted because of the relative
positioning of the label under the print head.
