The Label Alignment function is intended for use when the label length is less than the distance between the
printhead and the media sensor or where label waste at power-up is a concern. Label Alignment (see table
below) is not recommended for label lengths greater than 6.5 inches or for media containing 2 or more form
lengths.
Label Stock Label Alignment Setting
Continuous NO
6.5 inches or less YES or AUTO
6.5 inches or more NO
Multiple length labels NO
The Label Alignment function is chosen via the menu system or by host commands. The three possible modes,
YES, AUTO, and NO, are detailed in the following sections.
B.3.1 Label Alignment = YES
In this mode, the operator must supply an ‘ALIGN LENGTH’ value. This value
must be physically measured from leading edge to leading edge of two successive
labels, as shown. The measurement must be as accurate as possible. For very
short labels, errors as small as 0.01” can result in noticeable print variations on
the labels located between the media sensor and the printhead.
The measured value must be sent to the printer via the host computer or entered
using the Printer Setup Mode (see Section B.2).
Then, in Normal Mode, press and hold the
F2
button (about 4 seconds). The
printer will align the label to the top of form position.
If media with a different label length is subsequently loaded, the ‘ALIGN LENGTH’ must be
recalculated and re-entered.
