Adjust the dispense label alignment in Fred Dispense Plus

Fred Dispense Plus

Overview

This guide will provide steps to assist you in adjusting the label alignment/offset from the printer driver for Fred Dispense Plus.

We recommend using the Seagull driver, so if the machine does not have Seagull driver setup, please install the printer with a Seagull driver using this guide: Setup a Dispensary Label Printer. 

Steps

1. Print a sample label to get an approximate idea of the adjustment required.
2. From Control Panel > Devices and Printers, locate your printer driver, then right click and select Printer properties.
   
   
3. Next, select the General tab and click Preferences.
4. Select the Page Setup tab and click Advanced Options.
   
5. Under Position Adjustment, you will set the Offset values to change the alignment.
   • Moving to the right or left:
     Adjust the required value for Horizontal Offset, where a positive value moves the text to the right, and a negative value moves the text to the left.
     
   • Moving up/down:
     Adjust the required values for Vertical Offset, where a positive value moves the label text down and a negative value moves the text up.
     
6. After making adjustments, click Apply and test another label from dispense.  There may be some trial and error to get a perfect result.
7. Once the alignment is correct, click OK.
