Offset adjustment procedure

Zenius / Primacy

1) Print a technical test card to get the offset default values:

In the Print center properties/System details/Testing card, click on the


Technical test card button

X offset value

Y offset value

Vertical printed lines

Horizontal printed lines

2) Offset reading commands:


To read the offset values, you can use these commands from the Print center
properties/Maintenance/Printer command prompting:
Ry
Rx
Rnl
Rnw

(Y offset value)
(X offset value)
(vertical printed lines)
(Horizontal printed lines)

3) Offset adjustment commands:


From the Print center properties/Maintenance/Printer command prompting, you
can send these commands to set the image size and positioning:
Px;=;Value

(Vertical printing positioning - Increase this value to move the


printing area to the right side of the card)

Px;+;Value
Px;-;Value
Py;=;Value

(Horizontal printing positioning - Increase this value to move the


printing area to the bottom of the card)

Py;+;Value
Py;-;Value
Pnl;=;Value

(Increase this value to increase the number of vertical printed lines


on the right side of the card)

Pnl;+;Value
Pnl;-;Value
Pnw;Value

(Increase this value to increase the number of horizontal printed


lines on the top of the card)

4) Tips
- Adjust the X offset before the Pnl value.
- To reduce the margin on the right side, increase the Pnl value one-by-one.
Do not set it directly to the maximum value (1016).
- If you increase or decrease too much the Y offset value or the number of
horizontally printed lines, you will see wrinkles along the edges of the design.
- If you reduce too much the X offset value, the printer will cut the ribbon or nothing
will be printed on the card (because the print head starts to print before the card)
- The values are in dots (12 dots = ~ 1mm), so adjust them one-by-one.
- Send the Sc (sequence copy) to print the last design saved in the printer memory

5) Sample of adjustment:
Printing direction

Sample1:

- A white margin can be observed on the left of the card.

Solution:
Reduce the X offset to move the printing area to the left of the card (12 dots = ~
1mm).

Commands:
Px;=;Value
Px;+;Value
Px;-;Value

Sample2:

- A white margin can be observed on the left of the card.

Solution:
Increase this value to increase the number of vertical printed lines on the right side
of the card (12 dots = ~ 1mm).
>>Make sure the X offset value has been correctly set before modifying the Pnl
value

Commands:
Pnl;=;Value
Pnl;+;Value
Pnl;-;Value

Sample3:

- A white margin can be observed on the bottom of the card or/and wrinkles are on
the top of the card.

Solution:
Increase the Y offset to move the printing area to the bottom of the card
(12 dots = ~ 1mm).

Commands:
Py;=;Value
Py;+;Value
Py;-;Value
