The leading edge position of a label can be corrected by making changes to the leading edge position adjustment, to account for detection deviation in the detector (caused by deterioration due to aging). Table 2.4.2 Setting the Leading Edge Position Adjustment for Labels № The unit of the setting value can be selected from dot/mm/inch by ^S(CMP,U or ^MU command.
