3E Adjusting Print Alignment
If your previous experience with printing is limited to printing letters and cards to 8.5 inch by 11
inch paper you probably are not familiar with an essential part of a label printing - Print Alignment.
Standard printers feed a sheet and start printing based on the start of the sheet. They also prohibit
printing to the edge of the sheet. This is to avoid any need for alignment.
The LX610 senses the beginning of the label with an optical sensor and is capable of printing to top,
bottom, left and right edge. Because of this it is necessary to align the printer to work with specific
types of label stock.
The LX610 comes factory calibrated to print exactly to the edge of Primera label stock. However,
due to variations in the left margins and other variables it may be necessary to fine tune these
settings at the beginning of each roll. This is especially true for other non-Primera brand label stock.
Adjust print alignment using the PrintHub. Go to the Print Alignment Tab (second tab).
Click More Settings to adjust the edge scan. By default the printer
will scan for the edge of the media to determine the horizontal
start position. Some media may not produce consistent scan
result. In those cases you can uncheck the Scan Edges box. By
default, the printer will scan for the horizontal start position ever 4
labels. Increase/Decrease the Edge scan skip count to change the
frequency of the scan.
