4.6.1 Orientation - SmartDate 5 Printer
The Combined version of the SmartDate 5 printer calibrates the printer carriage
on power up to establish if it is a left or right hand printer.
The print module is always moved towards the left hand limit switch and handing
switch.
Once the hand of the printer is established the print module will either remain in
the left hand datum position or move to the right hand datum position.
The Datum positions for the Combined printers are shown below.
The actual print positions of the print module will depend upon any offset that may
have been set in the printer settings.
This is particularly so with SmartDate 5 when used as a Continuous printer, where
the printhead must be directly in line with the centre of the Print roller.
