F. ADJUSTING PRINT ALIGNMENT
If your previous experience with printing is limited to printing
letters and cards to 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper you probably are not
familiar with an essential part of label printing – Print Alignment.
Standard printers feed a sheet and start printing based on the start
of the sheet. They also prohibit printing to the edge of the sheet. This
is to avoid any need for alignment. The LX900e senses the beginning
of the label with an optical edge. Because of this it is necessary to
align the printer to work with specific types of label stock.
The LX900e comes from the factory calibrated to print exactly to the
edge of Primera label stock. However, due to variables it may be
necessary to fine tune these settings at the beginning of each roll.
This is especially true for other non-Primera brand label stock.
Important Note: Before adjusting alignment settings first print one label at the
quality level you intend for the entire print job. This will ensure the label
stock is moving at the same speed and the stock sensor will sense the gap in
the same way.
