Setting the Base Point
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 ( ) ( : media feed direction, : print-head car-
riage movement direction). 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.
MEMO
