for the print head elements. Doing so will cause irrepairable damage to the head. This
damage is not covered under the print head warranty. The addition of the Base
Reference Point command to the sample data stream may help to adjust the print for
your labels. See the following two examples or refer to the Base Reference Point
command description.
For example, the following illustrates a sample data stream for a M-8400RVe printer
and the resulting label assuming a 4 inch wide label:
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0050<ESC>V0100<ESC>L0303<ESC>XMSATO
<ESC>H0050<ESC>V0200<ESC>B103100*SATO*
<ESC>H0070<ESC>V0310<ESC>L0101<ESC>XUSATO
<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z
If you are using a 2 inch wide label, the entire image may not appear on your label. By
adding the following Base Reference Point command to the second line of the data
stream, the base reference point will be changed, causing theimage to be shifted over
toward the inside of the printer where it can beprinted on the narrower label.
<ESC>A
<ESC>A3H0406V0001
<ESC>H0050<ESC>V0100<ESC>L0303<ESC>XMSATO
<ESC>H0050<ESC>V0200<ESC>B103100*SATO*
<ESC>H0170<ESC>V0310<ESC>L0101<ESC>XUSATO
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
The image is moved horizontally to the right 2 inches (406 dots) so that itcan be
printed on a 2 inch wide label. For more information, see the Base Reference Point
command description.
