4.5 Label
Alignment
The Label Alignment function is intended for applications with short
label lengths that result in wasted labels (
between the media sensor and
printhead
) when printing the first label after changing media or at power-
up. This is accomplished with providing the printer with a
‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’ which can be manually measured and entered
(
see Section 4.5.1
) or automatically calculated using a Forced Alignment,
(
see Section 4.5.2
). Label Alignment, set via the menu system or via
host commands, has three possible values: YES, AUTO, and NO which
are covered in the following sections.
4.5.1 Label Alignment = YES
In this mode the operator must
supply an ‘ALIGNMENT
LENGTH’ value. The
‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’ value
is measured from label leading
edge to label leading edge of two
successive labels. This value can
be sent via the host computer or
entered by using the Menu Setup
Mode
.
The ‘ALIGNMENT LENGTH’
must be as accurate as possible.
For very small labels, errors as
small as 0.01” could result in
noticeable print variations for the
labels resting between the
printhead and the media sensor.
If media of a different label length
is loaded the ‘ALIGNMENT
LENGTH’ must be recalculated
and changed via the Menu Setup
or host computer.
