Using the Print End of Form Option
Use this option to reduce or increase the overall printable area in order to optimize edge-
to-edge printing toward the trailing edge of a card. (
Note:
When adjusting this value,
keep in mind that cards always remain in the same position while moving through the
Printer.)
The diagram (below) represents how the end of form will move in relation to the fixed
card position as a positive or negative Print End of Form value is entered.
Step
Procedure
1
Enter a negative value to reduce the Print End of Form and move the end of
the printable area more toward the leading edge of the card.
OR
Enter a positive value to increase the print length and move the end of the
printable area more toward the trailing edge of the card.
Maximum Adjustment Range:
The maximum adjustment range is ±99. As a
rule, 20 equals about .030"/. 8mm, which is about the same as the thickness
of a standard CR-80 size card.
