Claim One:
1. A method of automatically configuring a print location on a center-tracked printer, comprising: parsing, via the printer, print commands of incoming data comprising an image; rendering, via the printer, an image buffer; determining, via the printer, a location of leftmost black pixel of the image; determining, via the printer, a location of rightmost black pixel of the image; determining, via the printer, an image width, wherein the image width equals a distance between the rightmost black pixel and the leftmost black pixel; in response to determining the image width, calculating, via the printer, a left margin by subtracting the image width from a width of a print head of the printer and dividing difference by two; in response to calculating the left margin, adding, via the printer, the left margin to the image width to determine a centered image position for printing on a label; and sending, via the printer, the image and the centered image position to the print head for printing on the label.
