8.4 BASE REFERENCE POINT

The base reference point (Ref) is the point at which one determines the start and stop positions.

The base reference position differs, depending on the print mode or the label pitch sensor to be used.

8.4.1 Start of print positions

The start position is always defined by the media setting and how the start of media is detected. For gap

sensing, the start of the label is detected as the start position. The length of the gap is not affecting the start of

print.

For I-Mark media, the start is defined by the media specification, and it is important that the I-Mark width and

distance to next label conform to the specification. If the I-Mark is positioned at the beginning of the label, a

negative pos adjust must be input by the user in order to print at the beginning of the label.

If the printer has been pitch calibrated so that the first bitmap line barely prints on the label, a positive print

offset can be used to move it farther down on the label. Moving it the opposite way is not possible in normal

mode.

8.4.2 Stop positions

The stop positions, or label rest position is defined by the motion mode and the configured sensor type. For I-

Mark media, the media specification determines the stop position. The targeted position is to stop at the same

position as for gap media with 3 mm (0.12”) long gaps.
