Print > Label Position > Tear Line Offset
Set the position where the printer stops for tear-off label removal.
If necessary, shift the position of the media over the tear-off feature after printing.
• Lower numbers move the media into the printer by the specified number of dots (the tear line moves
closer to the edge of the label just printed).
• Higher numbers move the media out of the printer (the tear line moves closer to the leading edge of the
next label).
Accepted values: –120 to +120
