Figure 3-4 

3.5.1 Image Position 

The 

Image Position

 controls allow the position of the image on a card to be adjusted. To adjust the 

Image Position values, click on the Vertical and Horizontal adjustment arrows. When adjusting these 
values, keep in mind that cards always remain in the same position as they travel through the printer, 
regardless of image orientation. The Card Illustration shown in the Image Position box will flip and 
rotate according to selection of Portrait, Landscape, or Rotate 180 Degrees. See Figure 3-5. Note, the 
outline around the illustration will always remain in the same landscape orientation. 

  

 

Figure 3-5 

  

Figure 3-6 represents how the printed image will move in relation to the fixed card position as positive 
and negative image placement values are entered.
