Label Printing Alignment

You can alter the alignment of a thermal label printout.

  1. In Fred Dispense, click the Setup menu, and then click System Configuration.
  2. Select the Printer Type to match the model of your printer.

    For LP2844 printer we recommend Eltron Orion C4.

    If you have selected any of the Eltron printers for the label printer, a new Offsets button will be displayed.

  3. To access the alignment settings, click the Offsets button.

    The Label Printer Fine Tuning screen appears displaying the default offsets for this printer type.

    Do not enter a number greater or less than 50. Try entering increments of 5 or 10 until the correct result is achieved.
