4.5 Adjusting the Print Alignment

STEP 1 of 4

Select

Options



Software



Print Alignment

from the toolbar. Set the proper

Pattern Header Length

and

Pattern

Footer Length

.

NOTE:

For every print job, you need to adjust vertically where the printer starts printing the label images.

Recommendation:

The header needs to be 22 inches or longer in order to adjust the color registration. The footer

can be set to 0 without affecting the color registration.

STEP 2 of 4

Check the start position. The 22 inches of header color patterns are used for calibration. The gap between labels
should be in line with the gap on the label line. If the labels are not aligned after the third copy, adjust the start
position value according to how far the label is from the gap.
