Default X and Y origins: This illustration shows the default X and Y origins. You can
control the default X origin (top of form) with PrintSet or with the Test and Service DIP
switches. You can control the default Y origin with the DIP switches only.
The default X origin is 0.10 inch (20 dot increments) from the edge of the
label. You can move the X origin forward or back 30 dot increments. The
default Y origin is 0.05 inch (10 dot increments) from the leading edge of
the label. Each dot increment is 5 mil (0.005 inch).
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.
X Forms Adjust
When you move the X origin forward, the printer moves the top of form
away from the edge before printing the label information. When you move
the X origin backward, the printer moves the top of form closer to the
edge before printing the label information.
To set the X forms adjust
1 Turn the On/Off switch to the off position.
2 Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer.
The printer prints out the hardware configuration label and then enters
Data Line Print mode.
3 In the top bank of the Test and Service DIP switches, turn on switches
1, 2, 3, and 4.
