(5) [Print start delay]
● Sets the printing start position.
● Select the units of characters (CH) or length (mm) and then fine-adjust the value on an individual
scan basis (SC).
● To input in units of length (mm), need to specify [Speed].
● The positional relationship between the sensor and the ink ejection port is as shown in the table
below.
Positional relationship between sensor and ink ejection port
When nozzle is positioned before sensor
When nozzle is positioned after sensor
Print start delay = a - b (mm)
Print start delay ＝ a + b (mm)
● Specify the print start delay (printing start position) as follows:
(i) Measure the length of the print start delay.
(ii) Measure the inter-character space (c).
(iii) Divide the value obtained in (i) by the value obtained in (ii) and then input the calculation
result.
: Setting value (on an individual scan basis)
● When [Product speed matching] is not selected, if [Ink drop use] ([High-speed print] mode),
[Character width], [Dot matrix], or [Line] is changed, adjust the setting value of the print start
delay so that the time before starting printing is not changed.
● When [Product speed matching] is selected, if [Pulse rate div. Factor] is changed, adjust the setting
value of the print start delay so that the time before starting printing is not changed.
