Using the Print End of Form Option

Use this option to reduce or increase the overall printable area in order to optimize edge-to-
edge printing toward the trailing edge of a card. (Note: When adjusting this value, keep in
mind that cards always remain in the same position while moving through the Printer.)

The diagram (below) represents how the end of form will move in relation to the fixed card
position as a positive or negative Print End of Form value is entered.

Step Procedure

1

Enter a negative value to reduce the Print End of Form and move the end of the
printable area more toward the leading edge of the card.

OR

Enter a positive value to increase the print length and move the end of the
printable area more toward the trailing edge of the card.

a. Maximum Adjustment Range: The maximum adjustment range is ±127. As a

rule, 20 equals about .030"/. 8mm. (Note: This is about the same as the
thickness of a standard CR-80 size card.)
