5.5  PRINTER PARAMETER FINE ADJUSTMENT 
„Outline of Printer Parameter Fine Adjustment 
In the Printer Parameter Fine Adjustment mode, you can fine adjust each parameter, such as Print 
tone, Print start position, Threshold, etc. which are set by the PC command.  This is useful when using 
several types of media by turns or when the print start position or cut/strip position is required to be fine 
adjusted. 
 
The Printer Parameter Fine Adjustment menu contains the following.

 NOTE: The fine adjustment value equals to the sum of the fine adjustment values set by the PC 
command and this parameter. 
  The maximum feed length fine adjustment value is ±50.0mm.  When the value reached 
the maximum, the value remains unchanged even if the subsequent fine adjustment is 
performed.

· Cut Position Fine Adjustment (Example) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 NOTES: 1. Cut issue is available only when the optional cutter unit (B-7208-QM) is installed.   
 
2.  The fine adjustment value equals to the sum of the fine adjustment values set by the 
PC command and this parameter. 
The maximum cut position fine adjustment value is ±50.0mm.  When the value 
reached the maximum, the value remains unchanged even if the subsequent fine 
adjustment is performed. 
 
· Strip Position Fine Adjustment (Example) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE: The print stop position when printing the label 
in strip mode varies according to label length 
as the strip mode printing stops so that the 
edge of the strip shaft is 4 mm from the middle 
of the gap.  This is because the gap length is 
programmed as 2 mm.  When the gap length is 
5 mm or more, the effective print length should 
be set to the value obtained by subtracting 
2mm from the label pitch, that is, set the gap 
length to 2 mm.  If the print format hangs over 
the gap as a result, correct the print start 
position.

5-39 
 NOTES: 1.  The X Axis fine adjustment is performed to fine adjust the print position in horizontal 
direction (left or right).
 
 
2.  Adjust the X axis within the effective print range.  After the value reaches the 
coordinate 0, the value remains unchanged even if the subsequent fine adjustment is 
performed in the negative direction. 
 3.  This adjustment cannot be used in the Self Test mode or Test print. 
 4.  The fine adjustment value equals to the sum of the fine adjustment values set by the 
PC command and this parameter.  The maximum X axis fine adjustment value is 
±99.5mm.  When the value reached the maximum, the value remains unchanged even 
if the subsequent fine adjustment is performed.
 
 
5.5.5  Print Tone Fine Adjustment (Thermal Transfer/Thermal Direct Print) 
With this parameter you can fine adjust the Print Tone.  When “ADJUST SET” appears, press 
the [PAUSE]
 key and the [FEED]
 key 4 times to enter the Print Tone Fine Adjustment (Thermal 
transfer print) menu. 
 
 
 
To change the screen to the Print Tone Fine Adjustment (Thermal direct print), press the [FEED]
 
key again.  
 
 
 
When the LCD display shows “TONE ADJ.” or “TONE ADJ.”, press the [PAUSE]
 key to 
start.  And then, use the [FEED]
 or [RESTART]
 key to select a desired option. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 [FEED]
 key:  Pressing the [FEED]
 key one time causes a –1 tone change, up to –10 tones. 
 [RESTART] 
key: Pressing the [RESTART]
 key one time causes a +1 tone change, up to +10 
tones. 
 
 After completing the fine adjustment, press the [PAUSE]
 key. 
 
 NOTES: 1.  The fine adjustment value equals to the sum of the fine adjustment values set by the 
PC command and this parameter.  The maximum print tone fine adjustment value is 
±10 (thermal transfer print) or +7/-10 (thermal direct print).  When the value reached 
the maximum, the value remains unchanged even if the subsequent fine adjustment is 
performed.
 
  
2.  This is useful when print tone is required to be fine adjusted e.g.) When the ribbon is 
changed to different type.
