Typical setting position of printing origin
The printing origin in the depth direction (X') is positioned
at about 75 mm rearward from the slot for cutting on the
platen.
The printing origin in the scanning direction (Y') is
positioned at 15 mm from the right end of the media. The
value in the scanning direction (Y') can be changed using
[MARGIN] in FUNCTION mode ( P.3-8). This can be
changed by using the Jog key.
• When installing the media, make sure that the
right edge of the media is placed on the left side
with respect to the slit line on the platen. Placing
the media rightward of the slit line will make it rise
up if it moves obliquely, and this could cause dam-
age to the head.
• If a media is misaligned to the right of the standard
position, an error message “MEDIA SET POSI-
TION R” is displayed.
