Note: This article provides instructions for adjusting cut position. For instructions to disable/enable the cutter and various cut modes, see: J5000 - Adjusting the Output or Cut Mode



If, when printing to the J5000 printer, the print position needs adjustment or if the cutter is not cutting in the correct spot, this can be adjusted using the Brady Status J5000 monitor. Follow the steps below for instructions on how to adjust print and cut positioning.

1. If the status monitor is not currently open on your PC, navigate to Start > All Programs > Brady Corp > Status 5000, and then 
    run the "Brady Status J5000" program.
2. Next, select the "Settings" tab located on the lower left of the monitor.

3. From here, under the "Label Offsets" section there are 4 options which are described below:
  • Top of Form (TOF): Adjusts the vertical print position with a negative value moving the print down, and positive value moving the print up
  • Tear Off Position: Adjusts where the label stops feeding when configured with a tear bar. (NA on this model printer)

  • Cutter Offset: Adjusts the position where the label stock is cut, if configured. Positive moving cut position up, and negative moving cut position down.  This appears to be needed. Do so - if your printed output is off by about 0.25" / 55 mm, enter 55 in this field

  • Left Margin Offset: Adjusts the horizontal print positioning with a negative value moving the print to the right, and a positive value moving print to the left.

        Note: The offset values here are in 0.1 mm values. This means a value of 10 is only going to move the print 1 mm. 
                 Keep this in mind when adjusting the values. Also, if printing from Brady Workstation software it is very 
                 important to note that, at the time of this writing, that the "Top of Form" and "Left Margin Offsets" are swapped. 
                 This is because the orientation of the label stock in Brady Workstation software is in landscape instead of portrait. 
                 This means that the top of form setting adjusts the horizontal print positioning, and the Left Margin 
                 Offset adjusts the vertical positioning.
