C. FINE TUNING PRINT LOCATION. Once the basic layout with data and barcodes has been created for
a particular tag, actual print location relative to geometric tag features such as holes, slots and corners, may
require fine tuning. This may be caused by errors in the assumed versus actual location of the pocket; by
normal manufacturing variations in the tags, plates and printer; or by calibration modifications in the
printer.
To adjust print location, simply “click and drag” the printed fields, save the layout, and print another test.
NOTE: moving non-printed fields, such as pocket outlines, will not move the printed fields. The pocket
outlines are intended as visualization aids only.
D. PRINTABLE PLATE AREA. Normally the tag layout template will already be created with the pocket
outline in the correct nominal location. Producer™ provides the flexibility to modify existing layout
designs and create all-new designs, with very few software restrictions. However, for proper functioning of
the LL1000P plate marker, the “printable” area of the plate is restricted.
The first 2.5 inches on the right of every plate (end of the plate with the entry arrows) and the last inch on
the left end of every plate are reserved by the printer for proper feeding of the plate in and out. Attempts to
print in these areas of the plate will be ignored by the laser. Thus, in the example of a plate for a 1x3 tag,
although the physical plate length is 10 inches, the “printable” area is limited to approximately 6.5 inches
of length.
