DISPLAYED ITEM  ITEM DESCRIPTION 
PRESENT DISTANCE  Sets the label stop position (0 - 4.00 inches) past the start of print position upon 
output. When subsequent label formats are received, the printer will automatically 
back up the label to position it at the start of print position, where:  
0.00 in.   Is the default setting. 
 
 
When set to 0.01 in., NONE is assumed and a zero (0) positioning value will be used. 
 
TOF PRECEDENCE 
Allows an override of label format data when the form length is exceeded, where: 
DISABLE   Prints labels formats without TOF truncating. 
ENABLE  Ends the label at the next TOF, truncating any print data that extends past this 
mark. 
CUSTOM 
ADJUSTMENTS 
Changes the factory adjustment parameters to finely and independently 
compensate for slight mechanical differences sometimes evident when multiple 
printers share label formats. These settings are also available to make special 
label formatting adjustments, where:  
DARKNESS  Controls the strobe time (1 - 64) to establish the nominal HEAT setting for 
printhead-specific thermal characteristics, where:   
32 Is the default setting. 
CONTRAST  Allows fine-tuning (1 - 64) of the gray adjustment for print quality, where:  
32 Is the default setting. 
ROW ADJUST   Shifts the vertical start of print position (in xxx dots) to fine-tune the ROW OFFSET 
setting, where:  
+0000  If shifting Row Adjust in the negative direction, modify the PRESENT ADJUST 
setting (see below) by that same amount. 
COLUMN ADJUST 
 
Shifts both the horizontal start of print position and the LABEL WIDTH termination 
point to the right (in xxx dots) to fine-tune the COLUMN OFFSET setting, where: 
+000 (-100 – 
100 DOTS) 
Is the setting. 
PRESENT ADJUST  Adjusts the label stopping position (in xxx dots) to fine-tune the PRESENT 
DISTANCE setting, where: 
+000 (-100 – 
100 DOTS) 
Is the setting.
