13.2 Scale factor
The data in the database have been carefully entered and checked. However, they are
not subject to regular checking. Thus over time, the tags to be printed could have their
mechanical measurements altered, particularly the scale, i.e. the distances of the
markers from one another in both the x- and y-directions.
Possible influences include workstation temperature and humidity.
However, production influences, such as materials and temperatures when making the
tags, could also have an impact such that there could be deviations from the original
values set. Deviations > 1 mm are quite possible across the entire length and width as
well as a shift in the start point.
In order to make any correction to possible deviations, select from the main menu
> Extras > Shift of start point and correction of scale factor.
If you notice the output on the tag is not centered, you can change the start point and
the scale factor in x- and y-direction accordingly.
