How can I print on the far left side of the container using AP-Code with my AP360/AP362 applicator.
The normal print area range of the AP-Code does not allow for printing on the far left side of the container. Typically we would recommend changing the orientation of the your label stock so that you can change the orientation of your container. Rerolling the label stock onto another core will change the orientation.
However, if it is not possible to reroll label stock, follow these instructions:
1. Disconnect the HDMI Cable and remove the print head carrier from the container pressure arm and swap the orientation.
2. Use a longer HDMI cable. Primera does not sell these cables. However, any HDMI Cable will work. Ideally, use a cable with a right-angle plug so you can more easily route it away from the label stock.

3. Change the orientation by touching the Tt icon on the tablet.
Important Note: Currently, the date is printed mirrored which makes this process unfeasible. A future AP-code update will address this issue.
