Understanding the Offset Center Feature

Purpose:

The Offset Center feature is used to “tweak” the positioning of your printed image on your disc so the image is

printed on center. This feature should not be used if you have not set your Mask Settings first. See the Mask

Settings Guide for instructions on how to set up the Mask Settings.

Getting Started

Before starting this procedure, please make a table like the sample one below.

Sample:

X Y

+1mm -1 mm

-1mm +1mm

This will aid you in the amount of steps (millimeters or 1/10mm) you have adjusted your Offset Center. Should you

over-adjust the X and Y coordinates, you will now know how many steps to adjust + or -.

This procedure should be used with the PicoJet

Alignment PRN.

The PRN can be found in the C:\Reserved for

Tech Support\Test Files\TEST PRNs\PicoJet

Located on the C Drive. (SA, PC, Director, and

Director Pro Systems only). EC Series Users can

download the PRN from www.mfdigital.com

website.

The outer diameter is set to 114MM

Printing the Alignment Pattern To verify the printer’s current Alignment, first print the PicoJet Alignment Pattern PRN file and note the position of the outer diameter of the pattern to outer diameter of the printable area. Determining Proper Alignment If you accurately measured your media you’ll need to minus the outer diameter of your media to the outer diameter of this Alignment pattern.

When entering the coordinates, it is best to do one at a time, first the X then the Y. The values can be entered as + or – value depending on the direction you need to change. Please remember after entering the values in the text boxes, click the OFFSET button (indicated by the red box). Failure to do so will not flash the coordinates. After entering the first coordinates are flashed, you should be using your sample table as explained above and note the values for X and Y.
