Problem Possible Cause Solution
First label is
wasted during
alignment. All
labels thereafter
print to the correct
start of print
position. Alignment Length is
too long.
~OR~
For labels whose
length and stop
position cause them
to stop between
labels on the media
sensor, the
alignment function
can result in wasted
labels.
¾ Set Label Alignment to AUTO,
press and hold FEED until
paper moves for automatic
Label Alignment length
measurement.
~OR~
¾ Re-measure Label Alignment
Length, use Menu Setup to set
new length, ensure desired
length has been set.
¾ Obtain a slightly different label
Alignment Length
measurement. Using the Label
Alignment AUTO mode, hold
the FEED button to force an
alignment and label
measurement. Ensuring slack
in the label stock may result in
a slightly different
measurement. The Alignment
Length may also be set
manually via the Setup Menu.
Increasing or decreasing the
value by 1 or 2 units (in./100)
may help to prevent the wasted
labels; however, this may
result in incorrect print
positions for labels that are
short in length.
