  If attempting to perform Label Alignment on the Datamax Printer results in no paper movement, it is likely that with the Present Sensor enabled, Label Alignment cannot be performed without a Label Length. To resolve this, set Label Alignment to AUTO, then press and hold FEED until media moves for the automatic length measurement. Alternatively, re-measure the Label Alignment Length using Printer Setup mode to enter the new length. Print a Database Configuration label to ensure the new length has been set.

  If the Datamax Printer's label alignment is incorrect and pressing FEED results in a short, one-inch label length, the Label Alignment Length is likely incorrect. The default is 1.00”, and this occurs when a larger label length is used without setting the appropriate length. To fix this, set Label Alignment to AUTO by pressing and holding FEED until the paper moves for automatic Label Alignment Length measurement. Alternatively, measure the label length and use the Setup Menu to set the new length. Print a Database Configuration label to ensure the new length has been set.

  If the Datamax Printer's label alignment is incorrect and pressing FEED results in a label length longer than actual (one-inch), the Label Alignment Length is likely incorrect. The default Label Alignment Length is 1.00”, and this behavior occurs when a larger label length is used without setting the appropriate length. To resolve this, set Label Alignment to AUTO by pressing and holding FEED until the paper moves for automatic Label Alignment length measurement. Alternatively, measure the label length and use the Setup Menu to set the new length. Print a Database Configuration label to ensure the new length has been set.
