3 In the bottom bank turn on the switches that have a 1 in their column.
Turn off all other switches.
4 Press the Feed/Pause button and the printer prints the software
configuration label and stops at the new location.
For example, you print a label and discover that it does not extend far
enough from the tear bar. You need to move the label rest point forward
10 dot increments (0.05 inch) so that the printer feeds more label out
when it is done printing. Find 10 in the # of Dot Increments column. It
shows a 1 in the columns of DIP switches 2 and 4, and a O in the columns
of 1, 3, and 5. The 1 tells you to turn the switch on. The O tells you to
turn the switch off. Turn on switches 2 and 4. Turn off all other switches.
Adjusting the Label Rest Point
The label rest point configuration command adjusts the point at which the
printer presents each label for removal. Use this command in conjunction
with self-strip applications. The label rest point adjust range is from -30
dot increments (farthest back) to +30 dot increments (farthest forward).
Use a negative number if you want the printer to retract the label a
number of dot increments after it prints the label. Use a positive number if
you want the printer to feed the label a number of dot increments after it
prints the label.
There are three ways to adjust the label rest point:
• You can use the Test and Service DIP switch bank. Follow the
procedure below to use the DIP switch settings to adjust the label rest
point.
• You can set it by using the PrintSet application software. See the Paper
Handling portion of PrintSet for more information.
• You can use the IPL command. See the IPL Programming Reference
Manual for more information.
To adjust the label rest point
1 Turn the On/Off switch to the off position.
2 Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer.
The printer prints the hardware configuration test label and then enters
Data Line Print mode.
3 In the top bank of the Test and Service DIP switches, turn off switch 1
and turn on switches 2 and 3. See the next illustration.
To adjust the label rest point forward (feed more label), turn off DIP
switch 4.
To adjust the label rest point backward (retract label), turn on DIP
switch 4.
