Align barcode labels

The first time you print barcode labels, print a few samples on plain paper, and do the following:

• Make sure that the barcode is centered on the label. (Scanners require some white space at either end of the vertical barcode lines.)
  If not, adjust the offsets and try again. When you print, Destiny saves the offset settings you used so that you do not have to set them again.
• Make sure that your scanner, PHD, or wireless handheld device can read the barcodes. The quality of the printout varies from printer to printer; some older printers cannot produce scanner-readable barcodes.

Use the Printer offsets to fine-tune the alignment of the printing on the labels. The Horizontal and Vertical offsets let you adjust the left and top margins, respectively. Each increment is equal to 1/10th of a millimeter. Keep in mind that the offsets needed for each label stock vary from printer to printer. Any offsets you define for labels are in addition to the unprintable area defined in your printer's properties. Once the printing is centered, Destiny saves the offset settings you used so that you do not have to set them again.

For the Horizontal setting, locate your stock in the following table and enter a number within the allowable range:

Item #	Minimum Setting	Maximum Setting
Avery 5160	-10	10
Sagebrush 0370-00000001	-10	10
University 9-62450-16	-23	22

For the Vertical setting:

Item #	Minimum Setting	Maximum Setting
Avery 5160	-36	36
Sagebrush 0370-00000001	-49	49
University 9-62450-16	-36	36
