A: Solving Print Alignment Problems 

Image is vertically offset 

The J5000 decides where to start printing by detecting the start of the die-cut label (or 

leading edge for continuous stock).  This is done by detecting an inter-label gap that 

corresponds to the start of the label.   

The following items can cause the label sensor to improperly detect the start of a 

label: 

1.

 

Top of Form (TOF) - 

This setting allows you to fine-tune the alignment of 

your printing on your label stock.  This will be factory calibrated.  If fine-

tuning is needed, increase this setting to move the image down on the label; 

decrease this setting to move the image up on the label.  The increment of 

movement is 0.1mm.  This setting is found on the 

Alignment

 Tab of the 

Brady Status J5000

 

2.

 

Portrait/Landscape:  

If the Portrait/Landscape setting does not correspond 

to the label stock installed this will also cause the printer to print over the 

gap and onto the next label. Make sure this is set correctly. 

 

The Image is Printing Horizontally Offset

 

Three things can affect this issue.  

Label Stock Loading -

 It is very important to correctly load the label stock so that 

there is no space between the throat guides and the label liner edge.  If there is a 

gap between the throat guides and the label stock it may "walk" back and forth 

causing inconsistent horizontal image location. 

Left Margin Offset

 - This adjustment is found on the

 Alignment

 tab of the 

Brady 

Status J5000.  

See Section 3D.
