Shifting the Scanning Beam
This option enables you to shift the scanning beam horizontally to
the left or right. The left edge of the beam should be approximately
0.25 inches (6.35 mm) past the left edge of the tear bar or the upper
enclosure of a cutter assembly. After you set this value, save it as
part of the configuration for future use.
The value range is from –99 to 99. The default is 0. Lower values
will move the beam to the left.
NOTE: You must set Admin User to Enable (in the PRINTER
