Printing from a PC

Top of Form (TOF).
This value moves the print start
position up or down on the label. Add to the current value
to move the printed label down or toward the printer.
Subtract from the current value to move the printed label
up or away from the printer. The value is automatically
saved as soon as you set it.
You may have to make several
adjustments to one or more of
these values. After each
adjustment you can click the
Test button to print a small test
pattern on the label. This will
help you find the proper
alignment value.
F. CREATING A FULL BLEED PRINT
1. Adjust these settings in the status monitor and printing
application (BarTender).
Page Size.
Increase the page size width by .03 inches
(1mm). Increase the height by .03 inches (1mm). If you are
using BarTender, simply change the size under the File
Menu - Page Setup. If you are using other graphics
programs you will need to change the page size in the
application and in the printer driver preferences.
Left Margin Offset.
You must increase the left margin
offset to center the over bleed on the label. If you over
bleed by .03" you will need to increase the Left Margin
Offset by 0.4mm. This will center the page size increase so
there is a .03 inch over bleed on both left and right sides.
Some additional adjustment may be necessary if the label
was not perfectly aligned to begin with. See Section 4D.
