Step 4 : Setting the B ase P oint
Set the base point in order to determine the area on the loaded media in which to print (the output area). The
base point indicates the right edge of the output area. You can print without setting the base point, but setting
the output area enables you to use media without being wasteful and also to print on the targeted location.
Make this setting for each individual page. When the printing of one page finishes, the base point returns to
its default value.
