Vertical Offset Setting

Vertical Offset is the distance down from the leading edge (the edge of the label that

comes out of the printer first) to the first vertical print position. It is always a positive

setting since making it negative would move it up and off the printable label. This

setting changes the base reference point for all subsequent label jobs. It’s effect is

identical to the <ESC>A3 Base Reference point command (see page 4-19). Since the

printer moves the label in discrete steps equal to the size of the print dot, the units of

measure for Vertical Offset distance is dots. The maximum values that can be set for

the different model printers are:

CL608 CL612 CL408 CL412

Vertical Offset 0 to1424 0 to 2136 0 to1424 0 to 2136

Note: This setting can be overriden by the Base Reference Point Command, page

4-19).

1. Use the LINE key to step the counter to the desired setting. The display will

increment one step for each time the LINE key is pressed. If the LINE key is held

pressed for more than two seconds, it will automatically go into the fast scroll

mode. The reading will advance to the maximum setting (the maximum vertical

offset) after which it will automatically wrap and start at “0000” again.

2. Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and

advance to the Horizontal Direction display.

Note: The printers will not “wrap” images that extend beyond the print area. Any

part of the image that extends beyond the print area will be truncated.

Horizontal Offset and Direction

Horizontal Offset is distance that the label image is shifted either to the right or left

on the label. The image is shifted to the left (towards the inside edge of the label) for

a positive setting and it is shifted to the right (towards the outside edge of the label)

for a negative setting. This setting changes the base reference point for all subsequent

label jobs. It’s effect is identical to the <ESC>A3 Base Reference point command (see

page 4-19 )Since the printer can only print in discrete steps equal to the size of the

print dot, the units of measure for the Horizontal Offset distance is dots.

Note: This setting can be overriden by the Base Reference Point Command, page

4-19).
