8. Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will advance to the Cut Offset display.
Cut Offset
The Cut Offset is the distance from the reference line (see page 3-20)of a label or tag to the
desired cut position. The cut position of the label or tag can be adjusted relative to the
reference line +/- 99 dots in increments of 1 dot using the following procedure (1 dot = .005"
for the XL400e and .0033" for the XL410e). Once the position is set, it can be ad/-
3.75mm using the CUT POSITION potentiometer on the Control panel (see page 3-20).
1. Press the FEED key to enter the desired Service Mode type.
2. Use the START/STOP key to select the type of media to be used.
3. Once the correct media type is shown in the display message, pressing the FEED key will
advance to the Cut Offset direction adjustment.
4. Use the START/STOP key to step the underline cursor to either the positive (+) or
negative (-) selection. A positive selection moves the cut position towards the top of the
tag while a negative selection moves the cut position toward the bottom of the tag.
5. Once the correct direction setting is underlined, pressing the FEED key will advance to
the Cut Offset adjustment.
6. Use the START/STOP key to step the counter to the desired position. The display will
increment one step for each time the START/STOP key is pressed. If the START/STOP
key is held pressed for more than two seconds, it will automatically go into the fast scroll
mode. The reading will advance to a setting of 99 dots after which it will automatically
wrap and start at “00” again. The Cut Offset Direction set in the previous step will be
displayed in front of the Cut Offset setting.
Backfeed Offset
The Backfeed Offset refers to the distance that the label or tag is to be retracted after it is
cut. The Backfeed Offset aligns the print and cut position of the first tag after ejecting the
preceding tag from the printer. The backfeed distance can be adjusted relative to the
reference line +/- 12 dots (+/- 18 dots for the XL410) in increments of 1 dot using the
following procedure (1 dot = .005" for the XL400e and .0033" for the XL410e). A minus value
retracts the tag less and a positive value pulls the tag further back into the printer. If a value
greater than 12 (or 18) is entered, an error will be reported.
