Pitch Offset and Direction
The label Pitch is the distance from the leading edge (the edge that comes out of the
printer first) of a label and the leading edge of the next label. The leading edge
position of the label can be adjusted relative to the print head +/- 49 mm in
increments of 1 mm using the following procedure. Once the position is set, it can be
adjusted +/- 3.75mm using the PITCH potentiomenter on the Adjustment panel (see
page 3-19).
1. The underline cursor will be positioned underneath the Pitch Direction setting.
Pressing the LINE key will step the setting to the positive (+)/ negative (-)
selection. A positive selection moves the leading edge of the label forward (away
from the print mechanism) while a negative selection moves the leading edge of
the label back into the mechanism.
2. Once the correct setting is selected, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting
and advance to the Pitch Offset adjustment.
3. Use the LINE key to step the first digit of the counter to the desired position. The
display will increment one step for each time the LINE key is pressed. The
reading will advance to a setting of 4 after which it will automatically wrap and
