PRINT ORIGIN CONTROL.
The Origin-Reset function allows you to move the horizontal origin, effectively changing
the offset versus the right border.
The value can be set ranging from 0 mm to the media width minus the left and right
margins (20 mm), in 1mm increments. The inclusion of this function allows you to
manually nest images, working in conjunction with the Media Feed Reverse button on the
control panel of the printer (See Control Panel Section below).
In a typical application, an image narrower than the media width would be printed flush
with the right margin. After printing, the media can be fed back into the printer using the
Media Feed Reverse button. Then, the horizontal origin can be moved using the Origin-
Reset function in the User Menu under the Functions submenu. Using this method, the
next image would automatically be printed to the left of the first image, rather than behind
it, thus avoiding excess media waste.
Note, however, that once set, the Origin-Reset function will remain set until changed again
or reset to zero by the user.
