8.5 BASE REFERENCE POINT (cont’d)
8.5.1 Base Reference point Adjustment
Print Position Offset refers to the vertical and horizontal shifting of the
entire print area, relative to the start position of printing (V=0, H=0),
defined by default to be the bottom right hand corner of the label.
The Base Reference point can be adjusted by using the Printer Utilities
Tool application or by sending the <A3> command from the host.
The V setting is for the Vertical print offset. A positive (+) offset means
the printing is shifted towards the print head; a negative (-) offset means
shifting away from the print head.
The H setting is for the Horizontal print offset. The + or - prefix
determines whether the offset is to the left or to the right of the reference
point.
The default value of both positions is +000 dot. The maximum values that
can be set for each is +/-792 dot.
You may wish to make a test print after completing the adjustments to
ensure they are correct. Refer to
Section 3.3 User Test Print Mode for details.

Dispenser Mode
• The start of I-Mark is the base print and dispense position when using the I-Mark sensor.
• The end of I-Mark is the base print and dispense position when using the I-Mark (CX-compatible) sensor.
• The end of label Gap is the base print and dispense position when using the label Gap sensor.
• In Linerless (Non sepa) mode, the label will get caught in the platen roller by moving the label back to
the print head position. Therefore, the amount of backfeed is decreased to stop the label top from
moving back to the print head position. Note that the label will have a 5mm (0.19”) unprintable area
which is the decreased amount of backfeed.
