each of the following Setup Printer options: Print TOF: +30 and Print EOF: -30.
Setting the Print TOF
Use this procedure to position the printed image correctly on the leading edge of the card.
Step Procedure

2 Select MENU, Setup Printer and Print TOF.
3 Record the Print TOF value on the test card (you just printed).
