System Baseline
As with any equipment, the printer has certain machine tolerances, which
are acceptable production variances. When multiple printers are used in an
environment in which the same digital label format will be printed to any of
them, the machine variance from printer to printer may result in an image
printing in a slightly different vertical position on the label on each printer.
Accordingly, a ʺ System Baseline ʺ compensates for these slight printer-to-
printer variations.
The System Baseline is accessed through the printer’s front panel.
1 Press the MENU key. Use the arrow keys to select System from the menu
and then press the SELECT key.
2 In the SYS menu, use the arrow keys to select SysBase. Then press the
SELECT key.
3 Press the up/down arrow keys to increase/decrease the system baseline.
Then press the SELECT button. The baseline may be adjusted by +/- 120
dots using the up/down arrow keys.
Typically, only users of multiple printers will use the System Baseline
feature. With the print offset and system baseline set to zero, print identical
labels on each printer. Choose a label with a field located near the top or
bottom of the label. Compare the labels from each printer. Now adjust the
system baseline on each printer so that the vertical position of the fields is
consistent from printer to printer.
