Brady Workstation is Brady's premier labeling software, providing a variety of label and
sign making apps that are simple to use yet flexible to meet your individual needs. Brady

.
After downloading Brady Workstation software, install it on your PC, the Home screen
should look as below.
B: Adjusting Print Alignment
Standard ink jet printers feed a sheet and start printing based on the start of the sheet.
They also prohibit printing to the edge of the sheet. This is to avoid any need for
alignment. The J5000 senses the beginning of the label with an optical sensor and is
capable of printing to top, bottom, left and right edges. Because of this it may be
necessary to align the printer to work with specific types of label stock.
The J5000 is factory calibrated to print exactly to the edge of Brady label stock.
However, due to variations in the left margin and other variables, it may be necessary to
fine tune these settings at the beginning of each roll.
Important Note:
Before adjusting alignment settings first print one label at the quality
level you intend for the entire job. This will ensure the label stock is moving at the same
speed and the stock sensor will sense the gap in the same way.
