OFFSET There are three offset setting stored in the printer; one for Dispense mode, one for the Cut mode and one for the Tear-Off mode. These three offsets can be set independently for each job using the PO Pitch Offset command and will remain in the printer until a new command is received changing the setting or until power is turned off. The PG Printer Setting command can be used to change the default settings of the printer. The default setting will always be active after power to the printer is cycled. The default settings can be determined by printing a User Test Label or displayed by the Printer Configuration Utility Program on the CD-ROM. Please note that the Printer Configuration Utility Program requires a bi-directional communications port on a host that is running Windows 9X. The following should be used as starting points for establishing the three Offset values: MODE CUTTER DISPENSE TEAR-OFF MILLIMETERS 17.9 15.2 29.2 INCHES 0.70 0.60 1.15 DOTS 203/305 dpi 143/215 122/182 234/350 POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS PITCH OFFSET After the Label Pitch Offset has been set using the PO Pitch Offset command,it is sometimes desirable to make minor adjustments.

OFFSET
There are three offset setting stored in the printer; one for Dispense mode, one for the Cut mode and one for
the Tear-Off mode. These three offsets can be set independently for each job using the <ESC>PO Pitch Offset
command and will remain in the printer until a new command is received changing the setting or until power is
turned off. The <ESC>PG Printer Setting command can be used to change the default settings of the printer.
The default setting will always be active after power to the printer is cycled. The default settings can be
determined by printing a User Test Label or displayed by the Printer Configuration Utility Program on the
CD-ROM. Please note that the Printer Configuration Utility Program requires a bi-directional communications
port on a host that is running Windows 9X.
The following should be used as starting points for establishing the three Offset values:

POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS
PITCH OFFSET
After the Label Pitch Offset has been set using the <ESC>PO Pitch Offset command,it is
sometimes desirable to make minor adjustments. This can be done using the VR1 potentiomenter
on the Configuration Panel. This potentiometer is set at the factory so that it has a range of
+/-3.75 mm. The midpoint setting should have no effect on the label pitch. Turning the
potentiometer all the way clockwise should move the print position 3.75 mm upwards towards the
leading edge of the label. Turning it all the way counterclockwise should move the print position
down 3.75mm away from the leading edge of the label.
1. Place DSW6 on the Configuration Switch in the OFF position.
2. Turn the Power Switch OFF.
3. While pressing the
FEED
key on the Operator Panel, turn the Power Switch ON.
4. When you hear one beep from the printer, release the
FEED
key .
5. Press the
LINE
key to begin printing large Test Labels (press the
FEED
key if you are
using labels smaller than 4.1" (104 mm) in width).
