- Load perforated label half-sheets onto the printer's manual feed tray. (Note that two label sheets are included on each standard 8.5" x 11" piece of paper---the paper is perforated along the center of the page. The perforation along the centerline must be torn such that label sheets are fed to the printer individually rather than as sets of two.) The non-perforated edge of the label half-sheet should enter the printer first in order to avoid slight page rotation resulting from imperfections on the perforated edge of the sheet. The sheet should also be oriented such that the perforated arrow on the middle of the page points from left to right. (The perforated arrow is enclosed by the labels located in positions 8, 9, 13, and 14 of Figure 4.19. When the arrow is pointing in the correct direction, it will be located on the right side of the label sheet.)
- Click the Print Test Page (No Offsets) button on the Label Sheet Printer Alignment dialog. Design Pad G4 will print out four sets of gradated crosshairs that should generally align with perforated crosshairs on the label sheet.
- Measure the number of inches horizontally separating the center of the printed crosshair and the center of the perforated crosshair. Record the result in the X-Pos edit control of the Align Label Sheets dialog. (If the printed crosshairs are left of the perforated ones, the offset should be negative; otherwise it should be positive.)
- Measure the number of inches vertically separating the center of the printed crosshair and the center of the perforated crosshair. Record the result in the Y-Pos edit control of the Label Sheet Printer Alignment dialog. (If the printed crosshairs are below of the perforated ones, the offset should be negative; otherwise it should be positive.)
- Load another label half-sheet onto the printer's manual feed tray and click the Print Test Page (With Offsets) button in the Label Sheet Printer Alignment dialog. Design Pad G4 will print another set of crosshairs---this time they should align perfectly with the perforated crosshairs. If they do not, go back to step 2 and repeat the process. (Note that the Print Calibration Adjustment Page button prints the crosshairs without offsets and the Print Calibration Test Page button
