Recommended Feed Adjustments
The following settings allow printing from the top of the label.
Minor deviations from the recommended values may be required
due to various combinations of media types, roll size, type of
media supply device, and individual differences between printers.
Media
The media parameters tell the firmware the characteristics of the
media that will be used, so the printout will be positioned
correctly and get the best quality possible.
Media Size
The size of the printable area is defined by three parameters;
X-Start, Width, and Length.
X-Start
Specifies the position of the origin along the dots on the
printhead.
By default, X-Start is 24 dots, which places the inner margin of
the print area 3 mm (0.118 inches) from the inner edge of the
media and gives a maximum print width of 424 dots (53 mm/
2.087 inches). This prevents printing outside labels when the
liner is slightly wider than the labels.
If you want to use the entire media width, reset the X-Start value
to 0 which gives a maximum print width of 448 dots (56 mm/
2.205 inches).
By increasing the value for the X-Start parameter, the origin will
be moved outwards, away from the inner edge of the media path.
In other words, the larger X-Start value, the wider inner margin
and the less available print width.
