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; sending, via the printer, the image and the centered image position to the print head for printing on the label; and printing, via the print head and based upon the centered image position, the image centered on the label, wherein the printing is performed without the printer detecting or otherwise receiving input regarding the width of the label.
