6.6 OFFSET POSITION ADJUSTMENT
This setting adjusts the option (Tear off, Cutter, Dispenser) stop position after a print out.
By sending command to the printer, the stop position can be adjusted within the range of ±99 dots.
1. Prepare the printer to be ready for print out.
Ensure the required media are loaded and the printer is in Online mode.
2. Send the appropriate command to adjust the tear off, cut or dispense position accordingly as follows.
Commands:
• Tear off position offset command is <PC>21,b
•
Cut position offset command is <PC>22,b
•
Dispense position offset command is <PC>23,b
b: Vertical offset position in dots (-99 to +99)
A positive value moves the offset position of the label forward (away from the print head) while negative
value moves the offset position of the label back to the mechanism.
