X Forms Adjust
Use the X forms adjust to control the position of the label format along
the length of the label. When you move the X origin forward, the printer
moves the format away from the leading edge of the label. When you
move the X origin backward, the printer moves the format closer to the
leading edge of the label. It is easier to use the TOF switch to move the
origin forward or backward, but the printer will reset itself to the default
position if you lift the printhead or cycle printer power.
To set the X forms adjust
1
Turn off the printer.
2
Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer.
The printer prints out a hardware configuration label and then enters
Data Line Print mode.
3
In the top bank of the Test and Service mode DIP switches, turn on
switches 1, 2, 3, and 4.
To move the X origin forward, turn off switch 5.

Press the Feed/Pause button.
The printer prints out the software configuration label using the new X
forms adjust setting.

Verify the X forms adjust number on the software configuration label
matches the number you set in Step 4.
Y Forms Adjust
Use the Y forms adjust feature to control the position of the image in the
direction parallel to the printhead. See the Dot increments DIP switch
settings illustration earlier in this chapter for information on how to move
the image forward a number of dot increments. If the label is too close to
one edge of the printhead, you can adjust it using this feature.
