To set the number of dot increments.
1. In the top bank, turn the appropriate switches on or off for forward or
backward movement. See the Configuration DIP Switch Settings table on
page 6-9 for the appropriate DIP switch settings.
2. Go to the Dot Increments DIP Switch Settings table on page 6-10 and scan
down the # of Dot Increments column until you reach the number of dot
increments you want to adjust the command forward or backward.
3. In the bottom bank turn on the switches that have a 1 in their column. Turn
off all other switches.
4. Press the Feed/Pause button and the printer prints the software
configuration label and stops at the new location.
For example, you print a label and discover that it does not extend far enough
from the tear bar. You need to move the label rest point forward 10 dot
increments (0.05 inch) so that the printer feeds more label out when it is done
printing
.
Find 10 in the # of Dot Increments column. It shows a 1 in the columns
of DIP switches 2 and 4, and a O in the columns of 1, 3, and 5. The 1 tells you to
turn the switch on. The O tells you to turn the switch off. Turn on switches 2
and 4. Turn off all other switches.
Adjusting the Label Rest Point
The label rest point configuration command adjusts the point at which the
printer presents each label for removal. Use this command in conjunction with
self-strip applications. The label rest point adjust range is from -30 dot
increments (furthest back) to +30 dot increments (furthest forward).
Note:
Even though the default setting for the 3440 printer is 2.5 mil, each dot is a
5 mil increment when you use the DIP switches to adjust the label rest point
Use a negative number if you want the printer to retract the label a number of
dot increments after it prints the label. Use a positive number if you want the
printer to feed the label a number of dot increments after it prints the label.
There are three ways to adjust the label rest point:
• You can use the Test and Service DIP switch bank. Follow the procedure
below to use the DIP switch settings to adjust the label rest point.
• You can set it by using the PrintSet application software. See the Paper
Handling portion of PrintSet for more information.
• You can use the IPL command. See the
IPL Programming Reference Manual
for more information.
