3. Choose the right printing program. There are many 

different applications that are capable of printing to the

LX900.  However there are only a few that are ideal 

printing applications.  For example, Adobe Illustrator is 

an excellent design program but is not always the best

printing program.  It can be difficult to find the printing

preferences or to know the exact size of the art board.  It is

best to save as a PDF file and print from Adobe Reader or

export as a 300 dpi JPG and print from NiceLabel.  

D. ADJUSTING 

PRINT ALIGNMENT

If your previous experience with printing is limited to printing

letters and cards to 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper you probably are

not familiar with an essential part of a label printing - Print

Alignment.  Standard printers feed a sheet and start printing

based on the start of the sheet.  They also prohibit printing to

the edge of the sheet.  This is to avoid any need for alignment.

The LX900 senses the beginning of the label with an optical

sensor and is capable of printing to top, bottom, left and right

edge.   Because of this it is necessary to align the printer to

work with specific types of label stock.  
The LX900 comes factory calibrated to print exactly to the edge

of Primera label stock. However, due to variations in the left

margins and other variables it may be necessary to fine tune

these settings at the beginning of each roll.  This is especially

true for other non-Primera brand label stock.
