Setting the Base Point

Set the base point to determine the printing area on the set up media.

The base point () indicates the right edge of the printing area (). (: Media feed direction, : print-head carriage movement direction) You can print without setting the base point, but setting the printing area enables you to use media without being wasteful and also to print on the targeted location.

Make this setting for each individual page. When the printing of one page finishes, the base point returns to its default value.
